(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, has concluded, based on the below evidence, that the government is lying to the American people about the severity of the anthrax crisis.
First, the Associated Press reported yesterday that, “(a)t least some White House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago. White House officials won’t discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now. On the night of the September 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was a ‘precaution,’ according to one person directly involved.” This shows that The White House knew of the anthrax attacks much sooner than admitted. See “White House Mail Machine Has Anthrax,” Associated Press, October 23, 2001.
Second, when asked yesterday if he had been tested for anthrax, President George W. Bush refused to answer on two occasions. Id. This buttresses the conclusion that The White House has known of the full extent of the problem for some time, but will not discuss it with the American people.
Have these people EVER won a case? The Clintons still walk free.
So much for that.
This might have been just a coincidence, but on the weekend prior to the eleventh, the Fairfax County Rescue squad stage an excercise that was a mock response to a chemical/biological attack. It is possible that they do these things all the time but I found the timing to be very interesting. Of couse it could just be very fortunate timing on their part that made them more prepared for what lay in the near future.
