the real crime here is that the TERRORISTS are the real cause of any 9/11 dust, but all the anger is focused on the government. Sad.

I think a government that denies and downplays a fatal health issue deserves a little bit of anger, if not a lot.
Here's another recent article related to this:

no spin dave, you're an idiot. what if the gov't came out and said that all of the people who died on the planes that day happened to have heart attacks on the plane prior to their crashing and therefor were not victems of the terrorist attacks?
Not only is it idiocy in the highest forms of government, but in this case, it eliminates punitive damages the families of these 9/11 victims might otherwise be awarded. For instance, the city told 9/11 workers that the air was safe and sent them into this toxic cloud to work unprotected... until the obvious is stated, that it was NOT safe, and the gov't should have known that and protected them, these people will continue to be unsung victims of not only terrorism, but gov't corruption.
Its dispicable that after all the due praise the citizens of New York were given for their selfless response to the attacks, the gov't is covering their eyes, ears, and mouths to the heroes who carried it through its darkest day!

I think this is the governments doing, the EPA lied to the people of NY telling them that the AIR was fine when they knew it wasn't the terrorist did what they did and that's one story. However what our leaders have done since then is just criminal! I think if you want to place blame for this young lady it should be on our government who started a war with a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11. They have wasted 100 of billions on this war, money they could be spending to cure Americans.

by terrorist i assume you are talking about the ones that planted the explosives in the buildings and created a cover up
to deceive the gullible public.. those are the ones i am waiting to see convicted and ordered to pay with their lives..
the anger towards the government is justified.. get over it.

My anger is focused on bushCO, who ignored the warnings and intel that predicted 911. The whole thing could have been prevented, and don't forget it. And don't point at the Clinton WH; they left bush with the intel, and it was and is bush's watch, thanks to millions of stupid American voters.

So what if Bush did have the "Intel" he didnt have where, when, how many, or even proof that the intel was correct. and you say dont point at Clinton, but seriously how can you not, 9/11 is as much or if not more Clintons fault then you say bush is to blame. If Clinton had actually done something to the terrorists after the First wtc bombing, they would not have had the guts to do it again. Clinton failed to arrest Bin-laden when he had the chance, So if you want to Blame Bush for 9/11 then you better also blame Clinton, because he failed to do his job just as much as you say Bush failed to do his. Which by the way I 100% disagree with you on, Bush is doing more then Clinton, Bush 1, ever did to protect and to not show fear to the terrorists. He is the only pres who said he was going to do something and has stuck by his word. And for all of you who will say he "said mission Accomplished" he did not say that, the Banner behind him did.

Why? What crime did you commit? Just being stupid is not a crime, but doing stupid things could be.

Why could this be a huge story.... you breath in dust and it screws up your lungs... The big story is that anyone actually thought there would be no consequences to breathing in the dust.
Ask a coal miner or textile worker if breathing crap is healthy.

It's amazing that this took so long. The health implications of 9/11 debris have been documented for a while. Lots more info including tons of footnotes here:

the manipulation of safety issues started on day one and is almost darker than the question of who was involved in the attacks, mostly because ONLY our government was responsible.
more people will have suffered and died later from the dust than on the day. and the official lies about safety continue to this very day.

I really wish they'd stop posting stories with links into members only areas of websites. It's a bit annoying.
