Follow Up: From what I just wrote, it follows that since previous DU research is Secret (due to Convenient National Security Reasons), the obvious is for The Concerned Organizations (God Bless Them) to identify ASAP a group of scientists who will be able (within few months) to publish scientific data that is sufficient to shut down the Military-Industrial Complex (+Governments) using the DU Ordinance. Search Scientific Databases to find Scientists and Convince Them of Their Duty with Humanity.

Excellent & Accurate Information. Unfortunately, as long as no scientific paper appears in the mainstream (for whatever NWO reason), Military-Industrial Complex (and Governments) will continue to deny the obvious (as with Agent Orange in Vietnam). The situation follows the Successful Strategy of the Tobacco Industry (aka Tobacco Ind Conspiracy). What is needed ASAP is a group of Scientists (willing and able) to publish a striking paper in a major scientific magazine (e.g. Nature, Science, etc).

is this what Cameron meant by a moral obligation to the people of Libya?

@smithkm903 The xray/ flying comparison is not valid - inhaled radioactive dust has hideous effects. Fellujah is showing those effects now - where the US puppet government is blocking studies - but medical staff are working with international organisations. The same applies in Serbia and Afghanistan.

Veterans are experienecing health effects too as are their offspring. Avoiding studies = the Gov avoiding responsibility and using waste from power plants :( Don`t justify this horror, please.

nicely put

thanks

very good! thanks for that

Seems like there are a lot of facts about the hazards of Uranium, but not much about the amount of contamination produced from the weapon. It's a good point for sure, seems like a thorough study is in need, if it hasn't happened already. I'll bet it's no where close to even a small percent of what you will find in a warhead though.

If this scares you, check out how much exposure your receive in an X-ray or airplane.
