I would have thought that the rather overblown rhetoric used with respect to both Herr Ghelan and Unit 731 would have tipped you off.
A level of success pretty much highlighted by the telephone call that the CIA officer in charge of coordinating the setting up of a covert organization inside Iraq that would assassinate Saddam Hussein, seize control of the Iraqi government, yell for help in "stabilizing Iraq and restoring internal order" to the US government, and welcome large numbers of US military personnel into Iraq received over the secret, highly encrypted, super secure, telephones that had been supplied to the Iraqis in which he was told that he might as well pack up his bags and go home because the Iraqis had rounded up and were in the process of killing 100% of the members of the plot. That telephone call came from Saddam Hussein's secret police (who had infiltrated the entire organization from Day One).
Tradition?
Surgeon General Ishii (who had been in charge of Unit 731 which carried out bacterial and chemical warfare experiments on American POWs) bargained complete immunity and other valuable considerations in return for medical data which he convinced the US government was of inestimable value.
He got the immunity and other valuable considerations.
The US government got the data.
The data was totally useless.
Since revealing that it had been snookered by someone that the US government was well aware had been responsible for the murders of American POWs would have been "inconvenient", the US government stuck to the bargain and Mr. Ishii did quite well for himself after the war.
