City Says Many 9/11 Workers Aren't Really Sick
In the ongoing battle between New York City and those suing it, claiming they got sick from working at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks, the city now says 31% have mild illnesses, "like [a] runny nose or cough." Of course, the city would like to have as many of the thousands of lawsuits dismissed or settled as easily as possible, and the plaintiff's lawyers claim the city's review is skewed. The NY Times has different documents from both sides.

The victims aren't sick.
And Mayor White Bread isn't a total dick, either.
