Los Angeles, Alta California - 6/10/2002 - (ACN) La Voz de Aztlan learned yesterday that the White House Staff including President George Bush went on a regiment of the anti-biotic "Cipro" that is use to ward off anthrax infections on September 11, 2001. This is a few weeks before the anthrax attacks that began on October, 2001. This means that the White House had fore-knowledge of the impending anthrax terrorist attacks and did not warn the American people.

Judicial Watch, an organization who's mission is ". . . to serve as an ethical and legal 'watchdog' over our government, legal, and judicial systems to promote a return to ethics and morality in our nation's public life" has filed lawsuits against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for those agencies’ failures to produce documents concerning the terrorist anthrax attacks of October 2001, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The public interest organization wants to know why the White House went on Cipro beginning September 11th as well as what they knew and when?

Judicial Watch is representing the Afro-American postal workers from the Brentwood Postal Facility in Washington, DC. The Brentwood facility handled all of the mail for Washington, DC, including the “official mail” that contained the anthrax-laden envelopes addressed to Senators Daschle and Leahy. While Capitol Hill workers received prompt medical care, Brentwood postal workers were ordered by USPS officials to continue working in the contaminated facility. Two of the Black Brentwood workers died from inhalation anthrax, and dozens more are now suffering from a variety of ailments related to the anthrax attacks. Legal actions are being planned for the disparate treatment against the Black postal workers.

In October 2001, press reports revealed that White House staff had been on a regimen of the powerful antibiotic Cipro since the September 11th terrorist attacks. Judicial Watch is aggressively pursuing the disclosure of the facts and the decision for White House staff, and President Bush as well, to begin taking Cipro nearly a month before anthrax was detected on Capitol Hill.

“The American people deserve a full accounting from the Bush administration, the FBI , and other agencies concerning the anthrax attacks. The FBI’s investigation seems to have dead-ended, and frankly, that is not very reassuring given their performance with the September 11th hijackers,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. “One doesn’t simply start taking a powerful antibiotic for no good reason. The American people are entitled to know what the White House staffers knew nine months ago, “ he added.

The FBI investigation on the anthrax attacks has been "dragging". Some weeks ago the agency announced that an arrest was imminent but nothing has been heard since. The investigation led to a Dr. Philip M. Zack at the U.S. Army's Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases in Fort Detrick, Md.
