AIDS SHOCKER!
I am just hearing about this shocker, in which Libyan kids were used as HIV guinea pigs. It reminds me of the US government-sponsored Tuskegee Syphillis Experiment performed on Alabaman black men from 1932-72, in which poor uneducated participants were intentionally infected with the venereal disease.
TUSKEGEE
But here's a new one, from www.edgeboston.com. Have you guys heard about this before?
CAIRO, Egypt - The families of hundreds of HIV-infected Libyan children asked for $12 million in compensation for each child Saturday as part of efforts to resolve the case of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor charged with intentionally infecting the children.
The nurses and doctor have been held in Libya since 1999. They were convicted in May 2004 on charges of intentionally infecting the children at the al-Fath Children’s Hospital in Benghazi as part of an experiment to find a cure for AIDS.
Europe, the United States and human rights groups accused Libya of concocting the charges to cover up poor hygiene conditions at its hospitals they say caused the infections. The six medical workers said they were tortured to extract confessions.

Yeah I heard about this a few months back. The nurses were given the death penalty but that was over turned.
