    '9/11’s unsettled dust':

    Bush’s EPA hid health risks from toxic dust at ground zero —

    and thousands died


    how the Environmental Protection Agency put Wall Street's interests before public health and told people the air was safe to breathe.

    Juan González, who was among the first to expose the public health and environmental crisis at ground zero in a series of reports for the New York Daily News.

    He says the intense backlash from the mayor's office and federal officials "cowed" the newspaper, but he has no regrets.

    "It took about five years for the deaths and the severe illnesses to really become apparent."

    "The same people that were always touting 'Never forget! Never forget!' and constantly reminding us of the heroism of these responders were unwilling to do anything to actually help them,"

    more than 13,200 first responders and survivors have been diagnosed with a variety of cancers and chronic respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses.

    At least — well, close to 1,900 first responders, survivors and workers who recovered bodies and cleaned up the wreckage have since died from illnesses, many of them linked to their time at ground zero.

    Typical of republicans. Heap praise on first responders and soldiers in public but only thoughts/prayers when first responders/soldiers get injured.
