WASHINGTON The two men accused of killing New York Times journalist David Rosenbaum have been indicted on conspiracy charges.

Prosecutors say Michael Hamlin and Percy Jordan conspired not only the deadly robbery of Rosenbaum but two other holdups -- one on the same day Rosenbaum was attacked.

A report by the D.C. inspector general's office, to be released today, sharply rebukes the city's fire and emergency medical services department, the police and Howard University Hospital for failing to respond properly after the fatal assault on New York Times reporter David E. Rosenbaum.

"Multiple failures during a single evening by the District [agencies] and Howard employees . . . suggest an impaired work ethic that must be addressed before it becomes pervasive," says a summary of the report that was obtained last night.

Wow, that report is pretty damning. The poor man was dying and everyone treated him as a common drunk.
