Wow, one and only... I have reserved judgement, but your take on this is so stupid it's beyond belief.

There was no reason at all to lie and say that the air quality had been tested. There was no reason to delay testing for almost year. There was no reason not to diseminate information on how clean-up workers might protect themselves from potential risk, and it was criminal to imply there were no risks. It's more proof this administration lies reflexively, it weakens trust in the government for no gain whatever.

Do you think if you smoke you die of lung cancer within the year? Do you think if your get a lungfull of asbestos you keel over then and there?

I don't blame the administration for the risks New Yorkers were exposed to be inhaling the remains of the twin towers and two jet liners. I blame Al Quaeda for that.

I blame the administration for lying about it. I blame the administration for opening themselves up to countless class action suits the costs of which will surely be passed on to the taxpayers. I blame them for being the sort of scum who tell rescue workers and clean up crews everything is fine without even checking. I blame a commander in chief who plays dress up on an aircraft carier while real heroes die in the desert for his lies and suck up lungfuls of shit in New York City for his lies.
