FBI & BUSH ADMINISTRATION SUED OVER ANTHRAX DOCUMENTS
Judicial Watch Wants to Know Why White House Went on Cipro Beginning September 11th
What Was Known and When?
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that it has filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (âFBIâ), the Department of Health and Human Services (âHHSâ), the Center for Disease Control (âCDCâ), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (âUSAMRIIDâ) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for those agenciesâ failures to produce documents concerning the terrorist anthrax attacks of October 2001, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (âFOIAâ).
Judicial Watch has additional anthrax-related FOIA requests pending with the White House and other government agencies that will see legal action in the next two weeks.
Judicial Watch represents hundreds of postal workers from the Brentwood Postal Facility in Washington, DC. Until the Brentwood facility was finally condemned by the CDC, Brentwood postal workers handled all of the mail for Washington, DC, including the âofficial mailâ that contained the anthrax-laden envelopes addressed to Senators Daschle and Leahy. While Capitol Hill workers received prompt medical care, Brentwood postal workers were ordered by USPS officials to continue working in the contaminated facility. Two Brentwood workers died from inhalation anthrax, and dozens more are suffering from a variety of ailments related to the anthrax attacks. A variety of legal actions are being planned for the disparate treatment and reckless endangerment the Brentwood postal workers faced.
In October 2001, press reports revealed that White House staff had been on a regimen of the powerful antibiotic Cipro since the September 11th terrorist attacks. Judicial Watch is aggressively pursuing the disclosure of the facts and the decision for White House staff, and President Bush as well, to begin taking Cipro nearly a month before anthrax was detected on Capitol Hill.
âThe American people deserve a full accounting from the Bush administration, the FBI , and other agencies concerning the anthrax attacks. The FBIâs investigation seems to have dead-ended, and frankly, that is not very reassuring given their performance with the September 11th hijackers,â stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. âOne doesnât simply start taking a powerful antibiotic for no good reason. The American people are entitled to know what the White House staffers knew nine months ago, â he added.
