Time to stop the toxic lies of 9/11

[cal04]

Federal, city leaders should be owning up to WTC health risks

The very leaders who failed to protect countless New Yorkers from the toxic pollution after Sept. 11 are now trying to blame each other.

What they should be doing is owning up to their lies and deceits.

In the weeks after the World Trade Center collapse, this column repeatedly warned that federal, state and city leaders were all hiding the true extent of environmental hazards in lower Manhattan.

Instead of admitting the truth, city and federal officials attacked those columns as alarmist and irresponsible - and they exerted enormous pressure on the Daily News to stop publishing them.

Some samples of the supposedly "irresponsible" work:
