Question

"Spina bifida. Asperger's syndrome. Tourette's. Bipolar disorder. Organic brain dysfunction. These are just a few of the diseases William McMurray Jr. suffers from, ailments he says his doctors couldn't explain for the first 20 years of his life -- until they learned of water contamination aboard Camp Lejeune.

And no one was charged (criminally) with hiding the facts.....disgusting. I lived there during the time periods established....up until a year ago I also fished at Henderson Pond on Lejeune...now they have warning signs all over with fencing around much of the area around the pond because of contamination - wonder how long they knew about the contamination around the pond where people fished.
