Now that's one heck of a headline. Trouble is, it's true.
Secretary of State Hilary Clinton apologised to the Central American country just the other day for her country's intentional infection of some 700 unaware prisoners and mentally ill patients with syphillis and gonorrhea between 1946 and 1948, during the Harry S. Truman administration.
The joint statement from Mrs Clinton and Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said: "Although these events occurred more than 64 years ago, we are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health. We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologise to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices."
