Bloomberg Kills 'Sensitive 9/11 Probe'
Bloomberg Kills 'Sensitive 9/11 Probe'

Mayor Bloomberg killed a study on the city's response to the 9/11 attacks after his lawyers said they did not want a report that cited any missteps or dealt with "environmental" or "respirator issues," says a former city official.

City lawyers raised fears that the proposed "after-action report" - which the U.S. Department of Justice had offered to fund - could lead to criticism and fuel lawsuits, David Longshore, former director of special programs for the city's Office of Emergency Management, told The Post.

"The Bloomberg administration acted to sweep any potential problems under the rug," said Longshore, who was trapped in a loading dock outside the WTC while both towers collapsed. He later developed sinusitis and throat polyps and sued the city.

Longshore, who left his city job last year, showed The Post his work notes on internal OEM discussions with city lawyers in February 2003. His notes say the Law Department "doesn't want a critical report" and "does not want a report that says we did anything wrong."

1. Giuliani having evidence cleared from Ground Zero isn't worth investigating? What if he's complicit?

He certainly seemed most prioritized in expediting removal of objects above respect for the dead, concern for the possibly-still-living, and the health of people at the contaminated site. Three strikes!

Silverstein, Giuliani, Marvin Bush.

Aftermath of Ground Zero recovery effort

In February 2007, the International Association of Fire Fighters issued a letter accusing Giuliani of "egregious acts" against the 343 fireman who had died in the September 11th attacks. The letter asserted that Giuliani rushed to conclude the recovery effort once gold and silver had been recovered from World Trade Center vaults and thereby prevented the remains of many victims from being recovered: "Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill," it said, adding: "Hundreds remained entombed in Ground Zero when Giuliani gave up on them."124

8. EXCELLENT. I'm so glad to see everyone continuing to organize and not give up.
They really want us all to just give up.
And you know what? I don't think they had any idea of the power of the Internet(s) to keep this going and build a huge database of information just waiting for the right time and/or person to blow it open.
