During last year’s invasion, both American and British forces again used uranium-tipped shells, leaving whole areas so "hot" with radiation that only military survey teams in full protective clothing can approach them. No warning or medical help is given to Iraqi civilians; thousands of children play in these zones.

I was not aware the concentrations were that "hot". I knew we used a bunch of it though. I almost worked on a project in the F.R.Y. involving areas that have high breast cancer and were hit with a fair amount of D.U. After talking to the some of the doctors about radiation readings one thing everybody was convinced of was that D.U. was a relative term. Not all the D.U. was completely depleted. Many thought it was intentional. Anybody saying similar things about the new round of D.U. in Iraq?
