Remember the conspiracy theory of our government infecting young black males with STDs? It turned out to be true. The Tuskegee experiments are much more off the wall than any conspiracy theory laid out about the Clintons and they turned out to be true.

Err, no... that's not what happened. The government didn't infect anyone. The government took people into the study that had already been infected and told them they were treating it, when really they were just studying how the disease progressed without any intention of treating.
While it is definitely unethical behavior, it wasn't quite as dramatic as you paint it.
