They can just honestly and virtuously regulate themselves?? Seems like there are more needs for more commissions to overlook these fellows to say the least of this. And to think what, they try and carry the banner for what they say are the real Americans that really value the ideals, I don't think so. Throw them in jail, and let everyone else know we at least well know about the Nuremberg code, and it's enforced to the hilt!!!
