<< Why Won't Progressives Give Credit to Unions? | Main | Why Isn't Arianna Withdrawing? >> August 09, 2003Lies That KillA new internal report by the inspector general of the EPA says White House Told E.P.A. to Lie in Response to 9/11 The draft of the inspector general's report also says the agency "did not have sufficient data and analyses" to make a "blanket statement" when it announced seven days after the attack that the air around ground zero was safe to breathe.While the White House might say this was just a panicked response to the attack, Krugman notes in a column that this lying about scientific data permeates the White House approach on the environment in general (as in so many areas). And the result may be deadly, as with reports of the real harms from 911: say this headline- Lies upon lies upon lies from this White House. Posted by Nathan at August 9, 2003 07:44 AM Related posts:

Posted by: Kerim Friedman at August 10, 2003 01:38 AM As a Manhattan resident, I remember the talk from the governement immediately post-9/11 about how the air in the area was okay to breathe. I mean, there was this nauseating burnt-rubber/chemical odor that was wafting all over the city for weeks! I was highly skeptical about those comments then, and I'm sure I was not alone. ANother disturbing example of deceit from an administration that values image and PR more than truth and honesty and accountability to its citizens.
