<DIV><FONT size=2>Here's a guess at part of the justification, this is just a
guess, not a claim.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There has been some evidence presented which at least to some
is credible that 9/11 need not have happened if the various fed agencies had
shared information and did their job. Given there is a preponderance of
evidence for this view, then the fed may be facing losing mammoth liability tort
claims (if they haven't already received them),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hence, this guess: the bill may be a way of
acknowledging limited liability, and end up paying less than if no such deal was
offered. The bill has the advantage of delivering care to the victims and
not 1/3 to 1/2 of any monetary settlement to attorneys pursuing
claims.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri>OK, I've read the bill. I've watched the
clip. I don't blame these guys for trying to get what they can. After all,
they did the job they signed up to do but, I still don't understand
why the federal government is being involved. It seems to me that these
guys gripe ought to be with their union and their municipal workman's
comp carrier. If you're let go because of a work related injury your pension
should kick in along with your employers comp. policy. Creating a new taxpayer
funded entitlement specifically for this group instead of working through the
courts, just like any other working stiff who gets hurt on the job
would have to do, seems ill conceived. After all, I've heard no mention of a
special bill for workers with asbestosis or mesothelioma, guys who are
also ill from work related causes through no fault of their
own.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Gary, if you can find it, I recommend
watching Jon Stewart's interview with four of the first responders from
9/11. It should answer all of the questions you posted. It's
about 5 minutes and is on the same show that Tom mentioned below (I do not
know if it's included in his link).
