It's amazing how this looks over time, no? This didn't start with the Bush administration, but is a general tendency in US politics that started with Reagan, possibly even before that.

An eyeopener.

16. BBC reported on "Guinea Pig Children" last fall

<snip>

Jacklyn Hoerger's job was to treat children with HIV at a New York children's home.

But nobody had told her that the drugs she was administering were experimental and highly toxic.

"We were told that if they were vomiting, if they lost their ability to walk, if they were having diarrhoea, if they were dying, then all of this was because of their HIV infection."

In fact it was the drugs that were making the children ill and the children had been enrolled on the secret trials without their relatives' or guardians' knowledge

They have the perfect blend of pursuing government accountability and exposing media fallacy; the two most important elements of ensuring the viability of a form of democracy.

It's a powerful new compilation of documented arguments by Dr. Loo at Cal Poly:
