Not exactly hidden or being covered up. Every newspaper, newscast and
radio broadcast I've had contact with has had something on the noxious
soup of stuff that is in the streets, houses and bodies of water of New
Orleans. It is one of many many problems to be addressed as the
recover effort moves along. Directly related to the problem of what to
do about pollution is the question of where New Orleand will get a
supply of potable water that will allow this Crescent City rebirth the
politicians are now talking about.

It's a matter of downplaying how dangerous it is.

The EPA said the WTC was safe when it was not. People from Lower
Manhattan are getting sick. Rescue workers from the Pile are getting
sick.
