The "belated" release of the Great Lakes Study is coming under fire.  Two Michigan lawmakers, Rep Bart Stupak and John Dingell both Democrats have sent a letter to the CDC announcing their probe into the matter.  The probe will investigate allegations that the Bush administration suppressed the report, an inquiry questioning the demotion of one of the authors who pushed for the study's release and also to pursue and investigate concerns raised between the correlation of contaminated areas and the health of citizens living there.  According to "The Detroit News" the letter states:

"If the conclusions of this study are accurate and correct, the health of millions of people in the Great Lakes region may be at risk," Dingell and Stupak write in their letter to the CDC. "Moreover apparent withholding of this report raises grave questions about the integrity of scientific research at" the agency, they write.

The letter asks the CDC to turn over any documents relating to the report or the decision not to publish it, as well as records on the demotion of Christopher DeRosa, the scientist who led the work on the report."
