W. House Molded EPA's 9/11 Reports
The Environmental Protection Agency's internal watchdog says White House officials pressured the agency to prematurely assure the public that the air was safe to breathe a week after the World Trade Center collapse.

"Competing considerations, such as national security concerns and the desire to reopen Wall Street, also played a role in EPA's air quality statements," the report said.

The New York Times, which reported on the inspector general's findings before they were made public, points out that officials from the EPA and from the White House criticized the report, saying investigators misunderstood the complexity of the situation after the terror attack.

As what's going on in the U.K. with the Kelly inquiry, they're using the word 'sexed up'. In the U.S. they're using the word 'molded'. Why wouldn't honest journalists use the word that the nuns, priest, and parents taught me? 'Lying'!
