According to the AP this is the latest suit over medical experiments allegedly substantially conducted by Johns Hopkins in Guatemala in the 1940s and 1950s in which the subjects were infected with venereal diseases under the auspices of a United States government program. One Johns Hopkins lawyer reportedly called the charges "baseless".

     6 April 2013, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - In the wake of the most recent and longest hunger strike ever of remaining Guantanamo Bay detainees in numbers far greater than those told in more lies to the American people by the United States Government and the CIA many of whom were ordered released long ago the entire editorial board of the Ninth Amendment log salutes the entire editorial board of the New York Times for finally demonstrating the moral courage to call for the immediate closure of Guantanamo Bay and release of detainees in the New York Times published today.

     The end of this atrocity indeed is the ultimate proof to the world that the United States did not lose the war on terrorism by sacrificing its own Constitution and fundamental principles upon which it was founded including as set out in the English Common Law and the International Laws governing the conduct of all nations.
     God Bless America.
