[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 1307207, member: 688"] This "experiment" is a shameful thing if the details in the story are true and accurate. I don't think it would be good to cover it up but at the same time it probably would have been better to investigate further and determine the actual amount of harm done before breaking the story. As it is, releasing it just before the November elections makes me wonder if the democrats might not be seeking some political advantage. There is also some irony in apologizing to the Guatemalan government. Isn't this the same government that brutally killed so many of its own native people in their own version of [URL="http://www.newint.org/features/1991/12/05/killing/"]the killing fields[/URL]? And the government there approved of and facilitated the study apparently so doesn't it need to apologize to it's own people? [/QUOTE]
