American Exceptionalism; Or, People Who Live in Glass Houses:

Shocking news has hit the fan this week: Apparently America is little better than anyone else. It turns out that from 1946-48, while America was participating in the prosecution of Nazi war criminals for, among other things, experimenting on prisoners, it too was practicing the same sort of barbaric torture. (See The New York Times' story: "U.S. Apologizes for Syphilis Tests in Guatemala.")

At this point, you have to be a blithering idiot not to know about the Tuskegee experiments when the government lied to its own soldiers about treatment for syphilis and the theft of personal property and internment in concentration camps of its own citizens (even as it was drafting the young men from the concentration camps and sending them into war only to return them to the same concentration camps when they returned).
