Some workers exposed to toxic debris from the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center will be treated by a company run by Tommy Thompson, the former Bush administration Health and Human Services secretary.
The $11 million Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contract was awarded to Logistics Health. Thompson is president of that company. The contract will help track the health of 4,000 to 6,000 workers who live outside the New York City.
In an AP story, New York Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney says it’s ironic that Thompson’s company won the contract — given what she calls “the history of delay from the Bush administration when he was secretary and now.”
When he was Bush’s health chief, Thompson was accused of not doing enough to help those exposed to toxic debris.
The company will provide annual exams to the World Trade Center responders and diagnose and treat their 9/11-related conditions.

Ironic? Well maybe, but could it be possible that this activity is more of a generic reaction of this administration to maintain its base level of consciousness? Toss a gold coin with deceitful accord and watch the puppets dance.
