As reported today in the Las Vegas newspapers, the U.S. Supreme
Court has declined to hear the appeal of the Groom Lake workers
who claim hazardous waste exposure. This is effectively the
end of their case.

High court keeps Groom Lake secret
Workers from the military base known as Area 51 are not entitled to
know about hazardous materials there.
By Keith Rogers, Review-Journal
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away an appeal by
workers at the Air Force's classified Groom Lake base -- known as Area
51 -- who claimed they were exposed to toxic fumes from hazardous
waste burned in open trenches.
The court's decision not to hear the case upholds a ruling in
January by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that
the workers and widows are not entitled to learn what hazardous
substances existed or how they were handled at the base, located near
the dry Groom Lake bed 90 miles north of Las Vegas.
The court, without comment, let stand rulings in the
government's favor despite claims by workers that toxic materials,
including coatings used for radar-evading Stealth aircraft, were
burned routinely in open trenches in violation of federal law.
