Don Pedro, Sec. O’Leary, and a 1995 presidential apology for turning trusting citizens into lab rats

Nelson A. Denis on human radiation experiments: “… [A] reporter for the Albuquerque Tribune named Eileen Welsome won the Pulitzer Prize for her exposé on U.S. government-sponsored radiation experiments from 1944 to 1974. In her book THE PLUTONIUM FILES, Welsome detailed how the U.S conducted hundreds of secret radiation experiments on thousands of people (including prisoners), which inflicted intense suffering and premature death.

As reported by The New York Times, from World War II until the mid-1970s, 16,000 people were subjected to these radiation experiments throughout the United States. Many experiments were lethal, and many victims were prisoners.

Nearly 40 years after Albizu Campos’s death, his FBI files (carpetas) were declassified, and a veil of secrecy was finally lifted. These files show that Pedro Albizu Campos was one of those 16,000 people subjected to a radiation experiment…

…except that in Albizu’s case, it was no mere experiment.

It was a deliberate, slow-motion, atomic lynching.”
