60 Minutes: Bush White House lied to 9/11 first responders about air quality


From Americablog:
by John in DC - 9/19/2006

The White House edited EPA press releases about air quality to make them sound more reassuring, and Christine Todd Whitman put out releases saying the air quality was fine when all the tests weren't even in yet. And guess what, the air wasn't fine at all. And now, 25% of the NYC fire department has respiratory problems because the White House lied to New York policemen and firemen and others who ran to Ground Zero to help on that horrible day.

Rudy Giuliani refused to talk to 60 Minutes about the story.

This is picture of the Honorable Jerrold Nadler . Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) wrote a letter to Ms. Whitman in 2003 concerning the editing of the EPA release.


Here is Nadler's letter to Whitman
