The U.S. government has apologized for experiments in which government researchers used prostitutes to deliberately infect prison inmates in Guatemala with syphilis.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a joint statement Friday on the 1946-48 study they called unethical.
"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 apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices."

U.S. scientific researchers infected hundreds of Guatemalan mental patients with sexually transmitted diseases from 1946 to 1948 -- a practice that only came recently to light thanks to the work of an academic researcher. On Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a formal apology to the Central American nation, and to Guatemalan residents of the United States

What purpose does a ridiculous little token blurb from a hottie on the boob tube serve? It actually disposes of the unpleasant info.

Since all those people who were experimented on are most likely dead, the apology means nothing. Who are they really apologizing to.?!
