OK, I will take the last word. I have no idea whether there are hazardous or toxic wastes in the WTC or the Pentagon. It is simply a fact that NPR reported that the EPA is investigating whether it is appropriate to use SuperFund to clean up the sites, and that the way it was reported, it sounded like it was a probability.

Call NPR and yell at them, or EPA and yell at them. You're shooting the messenger.

Washington Post reporting that EPA is considering using SuperFund money to clean up WTC and Pentagon sites:

>>The EPA is considering listing the World Trade Center and the Pentagon as Superfund sites, which would free up additional cleanup funds. An agency spokesman said rubble from the World Trade Center showed elevated levels of asbestos. EPA officials in New York distributed masks and goggles to protect rescuers. FEMA officials said 10,000 respirators were also distributed to people working at the disaster scenes.<<

Do I get an apology?
