Washington D.C. Public Health Director Greg A. Pane posed the right question in the Post article, “Why that day? That’s what is not explained.” Pane pointed that it was “just this 24-hour period and none since.”
The Post noted that Pane found “. . . it was puzzling that the finding was from a day when the mall was packed with people.”

22 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
On September 24, six bioweapons air sensors around the Mall in Washington, D.C., registered positive for airborne traces of francisella tularensis, bacteria with flu-like symptoms that can be deadly if untreated. At the same time, 300,000 people were on the Mall protesting the Iraq war. So far as anyone can tell, nobody died.

With the newly elected Democratic controlled congress set to take power in January, one Congressman, Charles Rangel has called for the reimplementation of the draft.

by Juan Gonzalez
After nearly five years of lies from top city and federal officials about the health dangers from the toxic dust released by the World Trade Center collapse, the truth has finally begun to emerge.
