(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government abuse and corruption, reacted with disbelief today at the news that D.C. federal postal workers were not treated with antibiotics for anthrax exposure at the mail facility at Brentwood, resulting in two deaths so far, but that Congressmen who had less direct potential exposure on Capitol Hill obtained a month�s supply of Cipro. �Judicial Watch�s motto � that no one is above the law � aptly applies this latest example of how our politicians protect their own interests, and put ordinary Americans second. As a result, Judicial Watch will, in the public interest, offer to represent any postal worker, and/or their surviving family members, who wants to bring a legal action against the political elite for putting his or her life in jeopardy. This latest incident is outrageous, and appropriate government heads should roll, �stated Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman. Judicial Watch takes no damage awards from its cases, and relies on public support to carry on its work. | |
