Re[2]: Atomic Confession

[Vincent.King@DOEGJPO.COM (Vincent King)]

     Let's see...workers receiving even trivial doses have been 
     monitored since the Manhattan Project; vaults all over the country 
     have dose records going back to the fifties (I know, I've seen many 
     of them).  And yet there is whole batch of highly exposed people 
     that nobody knew about?  Oh, yes, and what about those studies 
     indicating that the subjects of this government experimentation are 
     'suffering' at the same rates and from the same aches and pains 
     that everyone else does?
     
     And now this: the possibility raised that the report and 
     announcement could be...(gasp!)...POLITICALLY MOTIVATED!!! (Say it 
     isn't so, Joe!)
     
     On a more serious note, it is becoming disturbing how flippantly 
     the media and political players are now referring to past exposures 
     as 'human experimentation' performed by the government (always 
     leading to current day suffering on vast scales, of course). These 
     are some nasty allegations that are going unchallenged. For 
     fairness to those in the historical health physics community whose 
     concern was for worker safety and health, it seems that some of us 
     who know better should try to set the record straight.

     I won't comment on the accuracy of the report, but this sure seems 
     to me to be the result of a "leak" out of Richardson's office so 
     that he could come riding to the rescue of the wounded.  You don't 
     think this could have anything to do with the elections do you?
