'Bravest' cancer rate up post - 9/11 per F.D.N.Y. doctor

[bad box 371]

It's been nearly ten years and the actions of the terrorists on that horrible day are still killing good, patriotic, middle class Americans ...

I know its something I keep in the back of my head. I know too many people who have gotten sick from working down there, as well as having some problems of my own. It just amazes me though that Mayor Bloomburg continues to deny, deny, deny. Just look at his backing of the Medical Examiner in re-taking the body of retired Police Officer George Wong during his wake, due to wording on a death certificate. Even after all his service to the City of New York, they delayed his funeral, and interrupted his relatives grieving, due to wording. They had every chance to examine the body before it was released to the funeral home.

If you remember, Detective James Zadroga was treated in the same fashion after his death, vilified by Bloomburg as someone who abused drugs.

I have friends on the FDNY and retired from FDNY... a few of them have comedown with vatious types of cancers... and all of them worked in the recovery effort on the pile. Those who haven't think that it not a matter of "if", but "when"...

Bloomberg doesn't give a fat rats arse about our brothers or anyone who worked on the pile.

Jut wait .. the day that Christie Todd " the air quality at Ground Zero is fine" Whitman and the other polticians who showed up at "the Pile" for their photo ops come down with arare cancers and respiratory problems, it will be attributed to the time when they at Ground Zero and will be taken care of while our Brothers suffer.

It's sickening to see how 9/11 responders have been basically ignored by 'our' elected officials. It's been said time and again that we are being treated the same way that our Vietnam veterans were when they became aware that they had been exposed to agent orange. The government dragged its feet until a sufficient number of these American war heroes had died before they began to take any action at all.

You are so right Gonz. Today's elected officials are mostly millionaires (many are CEO's) who have no contact with the middle class and look down upon all of us as mere 'serf's'. I will never forget last December when congressional and senate Republicans held the 'Zadroga - 9/11 Health Bill' hostage and refused to vote for it until Democrats agreed to support the Republican demand to continue tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Once the Republicans got what they wanted for their wealthy campaign contributors they then cut the funding in half for the 9/11 Bill and finally passed it with some Republicans still not in support.
