The Obama administration apologized Friday for a ``clearly unethical'' 1940s U.S. government experiment that infected Guatemalan prisoners with venereal disease in the name of public health research.
And how sick is this!! Goes right along with atomic bomb research and other kinds of research during that time period by the US on our own soil and against US citizens as well as what we did to other people on their own soil!

And the fact of the matter is that the US looked the other way for a very long time at what was going on in Europe for Jews (medical experimentation as well as the genocide) and other groups of people.

So often, the people in glass houses that throw stones comes to mind.
