There is so much that we are not privy to. I am not surprised. Much of it is so horrific, we're probably better off not knowing. Its said that if a human being can imagine it (which is a LOT!) its probably been done or experimented with somehwere along the line.....
ironman57321: If your accusing me of censorship,you missed my point bud.
No, that was not the point of my post. At one time, 'telling stories' (even if they were true) could get you into allot of trouble. Indeed for many years here in the US and in Europe, they had very stiff law on libel and defamation.
Indeed the US still has defamation cases (many on the internet) that is the plantiff proves 'actual malice' hefty awards have been made. How hefty? One case was $3.5m against a Russian newspaper.
Considering that 17 states have criminal defamation laws, and we don't know where the man and women (some that likely are still living and the drug companies that supported the tests) that conducted these STD tests live or might file their charges to defamation.
Many say...'the truth is a defense'. It is not always, the case. It is not if this 'actual malice' is proven in the court. You can tell the truth for harmful and injurious effects.
Buffy327: Your full of crap, where did u get these numbers, FOX News... More propaganda promoted and carried out to the people.
Dem love this country just as much as Rep. Once again Rep take an opportunity to bash the demo holding them primarly responsible for all that is wrong in America.

ttom500: To win damages in defamation suit, the plantiff must first show that the statements were 'statement of fact or were mixed fact and opinion'. Then second that these statements were false."
You must demonstrate BOTH beyond a reasonable doubt. If the statements aren't false, the plaintiff can't win. You can't be sued successfully because you stated a "damaging truth". Your statements must be damaging AND false.

Yes...my lack of respect is APPALLING!!! How dare I have the audacity to post about "American U.S. medical researchers INTENTIONALLY giving Guatemalans gonorrhea and syphilis! How dare I post that this is the second time the U.S. has apologized(although, what an apology would do I have no idea)for using humans(even if the U.S. did not consider them so)as guinea pigs and either letting them die or INTENTIONALLY giving them diseases that could kill them, not only in the U.S. but around the globe....
and then, we have the military using civilian casualties as trophies. I guess they could say that the civiliam Afghans that were killed, were killed by "friendly fire." Some friend!!!
Attention:People of other nations and countries, if the U.S. has issued a bulletin for you to come in to participate in a study, run, don't walk to the nearest exit.
mnowsa: now now now...slow down a little! Actually, the rest of the world is not really as 'stupid" as you like to believe. So, it wouldn't be really a wise thing to suggest that the world knows about your country only when some of you behave like "idiots"...

I thank you for the history lesson of how decades ago the US dis such a thing and now do not.
Thank you thank you thank you.

I do believe you have things a bit mixed up here as those who did such a thing were individuals, not the US military or government who were committing a war crime and, this information was made public when the US military charged them for such.

Yes, fifty years ago and or, if you are a war criminal.

Do all Canadians learn the great truths of life from Mel Brooks comedies or are you just special like that?
Nevermind... It just ocurred to me that I've seen quite a few Canadians here that aren't daft, so I've already figured out the answer to that question.
"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." Mel Brooks After all these year, I finally know who he was talking about.

U.S. soldiers ARE in the U.S. military.
Soldiers who were acting on their own against all orders and in fact, are being charged for disobeying orders. It is not the policy of the US military to kill civilians and take their body parts as trophies. Hence, your contention that somehow this is an action of the US military is wrong, it is the actions of individuals.

I applaud your excellent ability and willingness to reason, but you do realize you can't get anywhere in that particular dialogue since reason and bigotry are mutually exclusive characteristics in human beings, right?
