Well, it is a form of entertainment.  But newsgroups are for news, so here's

Depleted Uranium - The 
Perfect Monster Kills Quietly
By Nulwee
6-21-6

"I have never seen... double and triple cancers in one patient... My wife
has nine members of her family with cancer"-- Iraqi doctor. 
  
  
When anyone makes nuclear energy or nuclear weapons, a massive amount of
radioactive waste is created.  In the U.S., Depleted Uranium is harnessed by
the government as a component for bombs, shells and automatic weapons
bullets.   
  
Nuclear waste remains radioactive for billions of years, contaminating
ground, water and air, causing cancer, birth defects and death, although DU
is allegedly "safe" for humans, according to Pentagon scientists (irony
being the weapons are still meant to kill). 
  
D.U. is now everywhere in Iraq: (and much of Aghanistan) bullets made with
uranium lay in the residential streets, neighborhoods in Baghdad and
Fallujah have been bombed with uranium weapons...  and doctors in Iraq have
taken notice: 
  
"Two strange phenomena have come about in Basra which I have never seen
before.... double and triple cancers in one patient. We had one patient with
2 cancers one in his stomach and kidney. Months later...cancer was
developing in his other kidneyhe had three different cancer types. The
second is the clustering of cancer in families. We have 58 families here
with more than one person affected by cancer. Dr Yasin, a general Surgeon
here has two uncles, a sister and cousin affected with cancer. Dr Mazen,
another specialist, has six family members suffering from cancer. My wife
has nine members of her family with cancer. 
  
"Children in particular are susceptible to DU poisoning. They have a much
higher absorption rate as their blood is being used to build and nourish
their bones and they have a lot of soft tissues. Bone cancer and leukemia
used to be diseases affecting them the most, however, cancer of the lymph
system which can develop anywhere on the body, and has rarely been seen
before the age of 12 is now also common" -- Doctor Jawad-Al-Ali 
  
Whatever is causing the cancer is probably behind the birth defects in
Iraqis, which are now commonplace: babies with missing brains, sex organs,
spines, tumors instead of eyes or intestines outside of the body, et cetera.
Like babies born in the wake of Hiroshima & Nagasaki or near bomb-test
sites. 
  
"Did the use of Uranium weapons in Gulf War 2 result in contamination of
Europe?" 
  
"In 1979, depleted uranium particles escaped from ....National Lead
Industries... near Albany, N.Y.,which was manufacturing DU weapons for the
U.S military. The particles traveled 26 miles and were discovered in a
laboratory filter by Dr. Leonard Dietz, a nuclear physicist. This discovery
led to a shut down of the factory in 1980, for releasing morethan 0.85
pounds of DU dust into the atmosphere every month, and involved a cleanup of
contaminated properties costing over 100 million dollars" -- Center for
Globalization Research in Canada. 
  
Thousands of pounds of D.U. were dropped in the bombing campaigns against
Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001-2003, causing a near total incineration of
the uranium and leaving its "dust" scattered.  Then, British scientists
Chris Busby and Saorise Morgan found: 
  
"...the highest levels of depleted uranium ever measured in the atmosphere
in Britain, were transported on air currents from the Middle East and
Central Asia; of special significance were those from the Tora Bora bombing
in Afghanistan in 2001, and the "Shock & Awe" bombing during Gulf War II in
Iraq in 2003. 
  
"...The British government facility (AWE) was taken over 3 years ago by
Halliburton, which refused at first to release air monitoring data, as
required by law, to Dr. Busby" 
  
Radioactive waste doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care about your
innocence, whether you're Arab or Kurd, European or Asian, baby or
insurgent, American soldier or American business contractor.  D.U. doesn't
dissolve in water, meaning it is never excreted from an animal's body.  It
is passed on into any offspring and into their offspring.  It is the perfect
weapon, working through postmodern society's greatest enemy--time.
