An early test of 1945's Pax Americana was how American's scientific establishment would handle news of Japan's truly horrific germ warfare efforts from its UNIT 731.
It killed more than one million people directly and indirectly and easily rivalled the Nazis medical experiments for their sheer
evilness done in the name of Science.
Instead of making the details of this supreme act of scientific evilness public at a trial of its perpetrators (Ishii Shiro) and facilitators (starting with the Emperor of Japan), the American science elite jumped at a chance to gain evidence of the direct effects of germ warfare upon humans.
Until now, the western Allies had only been allowed to torture animals to death in their germ warfare program and this was never enough to the modernity era's scientists, with their mania for complete certainty and precision.
They work with America's military and lawyers to grant the evil-doers immunity and then took up all the Japanese's blood-stained evidence for the Allies own - equally secret - germ warfare research.
Japanese germ warfare becomes 'Born Secret', post the fact .
The 'Born Secret' doctrine had just jumped its atomic bounds ....
