I'm watching that one.
The gifts that keep on giving.
Do you think the creators of this movie will be treated like hero's by the American left. The Canadians won't care because it will be more evil America hand wringing.
Either this film will not implicate Clinton, or else it will never be released. Take your pick.
I'm the last one to jump at a defense of the Clinton's, but this seems to go to far. Nobody was testing for HIV then ( as far as I know) and I'm all for a prison system making a buck on the back of the inmates. Crap, I can't believe I am doing this. Now I feel dirty all over.
It will not be released. It does seem stupid. The Canadians are blaming another country for their problems...crazy folks. Hopefully in a few days they can have another positive direction.
Actually, the tainted blood scandal was kicking around while Clinton was still president, and some of the tainted blood was indeed traced back to donations from an Arkansas prison during the time that Clinton was governor of Arkansas. Someone was probably getting some graft for getting prisoners to donate blood. Maybe Clinton was involved in some way. But I have never heard any conclusive proof of it. And we never will.
IIRC, the larger problem was hepatitis, which was screened for at the time, but doesn't make as splashy a headline. Also, I think that some HIV testing had gone into place before this practice ended.
Here for the BIG picture:

Here are links to articles from the past for those who want to catch up.
Indeed, it is very much like old times, my good friend!
Heads up folks.

Nice bumping into you. Seems like it's been a generation, in FReeper years. ;-)
Excellent link there. Thanks!
you're welcome 'newbie' ;)
It certainly has been a long time! Jeepers, time goes by faster the older I get.
LOL At least you didn't call me a troll. ;-)
This film is probably why Bubba came out last week as the broker of "deal" with the drug companies for reducing the costs of AIDS drugs for Africa.
Timing is everything in the political world.
