Boston's Big Dig–Top Secret Stuff

In Boston, the state is trying to shut down a lawsuit brought by the family of Milena Del Valle, who was killed last July when 12 tons of Boston’s Big Dig tunnel fell on her husband’s car. The excuse they’ve given this time is that if they turn over relevant documents to the family, the nation’s transportation security could be compromised. By discovering exactly what shortcuts they took in building the thing and where it’s likely to kill someone next? (I’ve survived two trips through the Big Dig and I hope never to be caught down there again, especially with the state continuing its cover-up of just how shoddy a job the Big Dig really was.)

Is there ANYTHING this bunch of goobers won’t roll out the “9/11” mantra for in order to avoid responsibility? How long are we going to let the government, at every level, hide behind this lame-ass excuse?
