Please take advantage of the "Real Video Stream" option on this Democracy Now! post, so that you can WATCH this, instead of just reading the tapescript, especially since there are film clips - a short excerpt from a 2007 congressional hearing when the former head of the EPA, Christie Todd Whitman, denied misleading the public over environmental dangers after 9/11. Whitman and John Henshaw, the former head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, were questioned by Congressman Jerrold Nadler.

Besides the terrible plight of the 9/11 rescuers, I will never forget 9/11 for another reason and I hope that some of you will start remembering it for the same reasons I do, as illustrated and documented in the following YouTube clips

The day of Sept. 11, 2001 was certainly a tragedy.....the way our Country has treated those who helped afterwards is more than a tragedy....it is inexcusable, disgraceful, and shameful.
Lady Liberty, who sits not far from there, is crying with pain in her Heart...as we all should be. These brave individual could be your son, Father, or neighbor....think about it.
