3. There are thousands. The White House lied and should be tried
Edited on Wed Apr-12-06 09:10 AM by OmmmSweetOmmm
for at least manslaughter.

From the article -
A class action lawsuit and families of ground zero workers have alleged more than two dozen deaths are related to exposure to trade center dust, which doctors believe contained a number of toxic chemicals including asbestos and more than 1 million tons of tower debris.

“They all knew it was detrimental to their health,” said Joseph Zadroga, the detective’s father. “They all knew that, yet they stayed there.”

Doctors running health screening programs, including a city registry following tens of thousands of people, say it will take decades to assess the health effects of working at the trade center site.


Please recall, EPA said it was safe to go back to work and live in lower Manhattan a week after the attack. It turned out that the EPA's original statement was changed by the White House to say that there were no dangers when the science (facts) were not in as of yet. The EPA union was up in arms after the fact.
