WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Former Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara is among 11 defendants named in two
first-of-their-kind class action lawsuits for allegedly covering up
medical records without which veterans of atomic, biological and
chemical warfare testing cannot receive needed medical and other
benefits. The plaintiffs include veterans, their families, and the
Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), who allege a deliberate and
ongoing cover-up by U.S. government officials to conceal and ignore
relevant records, many of which are personal medical records that
would allow them to seek proper benefits from the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) for the often devastating long-term health
effects of the government's testing of weapons of mass destruction.
Brought by the law firm of Shaw Pittman, LLP, the complaints --
one for veterans exposed to atomic detonations and the other for
veterans exposed to biological and chemical tests, as well as their
survivors -- aim to hold the government officials personally
responsible for their involvement in illegal and unethical
activities and to obtain justice for aging veterans. The
complaints tell disturbingly similar stories of government and
military officials protecting the government and themselves from
liability for the effects of cold war atomic, biological, and
chemical experiments on their own troops, sailors, airmen, and
marines......
