A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a $12 million lawsuit brought by a former State Department mailroom worker who was hospitalized after handling an anthrax-laced letter.

David Hose was exposed to anthrax spores in October 2001 while working as a contract supervisor in a State Department mail facility in Sterling, Va., and he spent more than two weeks in intensive care.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman agreed with the government that Hose could not sue because Virginia's Workers' Compensation Act prohibited a lawsuit over his injuries.

And no one in Congress will sponsor a bill that would pay for additional monies to go his way?

They do it every day for countless others.

Oh, wait. I see the problem, very clearly, in the picture.

Of course that not knowing anything about the case before this article.
