Guatemala fury over US sex disease tests | The Australian: "GUATEMALANS have slammed a US confession that it led a 1940s study in their country in which hundreds of people were deliberately infected with STDs.
'No matter how much of a superpower it is, the US cannot do this kind of experimentation,' Nery Rodenas, the chief of the human rights office at the Archbishop of Guatemala's office, said yesterday.
'They used Guatemalans as lab rats. It is important that family members receive some kind of compensation.'
Politician Zury Rios also urged compensation for not only the victims, but the nation as a whole.
