Outrage in Guatemala over US study on sex diseases
AFP ^ | 2 October 2010

Posted on 10/02/2010 9:27:29 PM PDT by Racehorse

Guatemalans on Saturday slammed a US confession that it led a 1940s study in the Central American country in which hundreds of people were deliberately infected with sexually transmitted diseases.

"No matter how much of a superpower it is, the United States cannot do this kind of experimentation," Nery Rodenas, the chief of the human rights office at the archbishop of Guatemala's office, told reporters.

"They used Guatemalans as lab rats. It is important that family members receive some kind of compensation."

Lawmaker Zury Rios also urged compensation for not only the victims, but the nation as a whole.

"It is just not enough to say you are sorry. We need to be compensated as a (sovereign) State, maybe with the funding of a solid sex and reproductive health program," she insisted.

These morons didn’t have a clue about this until that blithering idiot, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, made a big deal about it. Americans need to ship Barry’s goatsmellin’ @$$ to Guatamala and tell them he’s all the “compensation” they’re going to get from us.

Yesterday, when reported, it was revealed that the program included the Guatemalan government as one of the participants.

I guess that has changed, so now the US is the sole scumbags!

As soon as you compensate us for the millions of pounds of cocaine that has gone through your country and made it to the US which has resulted in 1,000s of deaths and murders and billions of dollars of wasted money on the War on Drugs.

Toss in the cost of incarcerating and deporting the thousands of Guatamalen criminals we have to pay for and maybe, just maybe, we'll have the beginnings of a rational conversation.

Never could have seen that coming.

Obama was supposed to make the rest of the world love the US. As it is, after 20 months in office it seems that more of them hate us than before.

If the Spanish had not killed off the Indians of the West Indies, they would be by rights apologizing to the Europeans and others because Columbus' men got syphilis from the natives.

...conducted by US public health researchers in Guatemala between 1946 and 1948...

Excuse me, but just who was President during that period?
