    Maybe the lies you tell to refute earlier lies can be construed as fear. How about a little more scholarly research to show you how foolish it is to try to trivialize the risks of DU? http://www.nuclearpolicy.org/files/nuclear/fetter_jun_14_03.pdf Oh, and perhaps this has been cited as well: http://www.deploymentlink.osd.mil/du_library/du_ii/index.htm#tabl Funny how non-scientists like myself can come up with these things. Google seems to be the chink in the armor of the apologists. Perhaps Natalie ought to recuse herself from further discussion--it's hard to argue once someone has beaten their pithy arguments into the ground. No, better yet--Natalie: continue posting.

Shame on you, LTC Helbig for lying and for trying to scare off good people who have proved you wrong time and time again! See the following: The use of DU weapons by the U.S., the U.K., and NATO in Kuwait, Iraq, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosova, and possibly Afghanistan over the past decade led to investigation and opposition in several countries. In 1999, MTP, the Laka Foundation (Netherlands), and the Campaign Against Depleted Uranium (UK) began the first attempt …

    More on the use of DU in the Balkans: According to his statements, official precise data on the relationship between the rapid increase of, above all, malignant illnesses in Republika Srpska and the type of weaponry that NATO used during the bombing, is not yet available. Unofficially, however, we learned that the report by the Yugoslav Expert committee confirmed that the Allied aviation used radioactive projectiles; and due to the strictly confidential nature of this information, that document is unavailable to the public. When asked why official Belgrade sources and the ruling heads of Republika Srpska are silent about this, Stankovic …
