Resumen

Durante el mandato de Obama han coincidido dos sucesos distantes en el tiempo pero interrelacionados en su naturaleza. Por un lado, se descubrió que en los años cuarenta EEUU había estado realizando experimentos con enfermedades de transmisión sexual en Guatemala, de forma similar a como ya lo hiciera con población afroamericana en Tuskegee, Alabama. Por otro, la CIA organizó una falsa campaña de vacunación en Pakistán con niños para poder obtener el ADN de los hijos de Osama Bin Laden, lo que hipotéticamente permitiría capturarle. Analizaremos la respuesta de la Administración Obama cuando estos dos hechos salieron a la luz pública.
