"When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb".
F6, the Joyce Riley/Ian Punnett interview was excellent, her stats of GG1 veterans problems, her discussion re the fact that use of depleted uranium made things worse for vets now, and her reminder of DOD abuse of the 'mental' diagnosis, for new symptoms was horrifying, even if one had heard it before.
Anyone who doesn't know of the ant people .. the shadow people .. the fireworms (at 9/11, too) .. the grass boys .. of survivors eyesight cured .. et al .. of the "gentle little things" done anonymously as survivors were marked as lepers .. of the abuse of children .. details never told before .. a wonderful mix of eyewitness and science ..
The Charles Pellegrino/Ian Punnett, I heard by starting on 1am yesterday, and caught the Joyce Riley interview you mentioned in checking the a 4am .. repeat, the Last Train From Hiroshima interview .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=46098880 .. is a must .. the stories of the two hard core conservative friends of Pellegrino's, who were "nuke 'em before they do us" people .. one read the first 3 chapters and said, NEVER AGAIN .. the other the whole book, in preview, the same .. NEVER AGAIN

Iraq's Ministry for Human Rights will file a lawsuit against Britain and the US over their use of depleted uranium bombs in Iraq, an Iraqi minister says.
Iraq's Minister of Human Rights, Wijdan Mikhail Salim, told Assabah newspaper that the lawsuit will be launched based on reports from the Iraqi ministries of science and the environment.
According to the reports, during the first year of the US and British invasion of Iraq, both countries had repeatedly used bombs containing depleted uranium.
According to Iraqi military experts, the US and Britain bombed the country with nearly 2,000 tons of depleted uranium bombs during the early years of the Iraq war.
Atomic radiation has increased the number of babies born with defects in the southern provinces of Iraq.
Iraqi doctors say they' have been struggling to cope with the rise in the number of cancer cases —especially in cities subjected to heavy U-S and British bombardment.
The high rate of birth defects and cancer cases will move in the coming years to the central and northern provinces of Iraq since the radiation may penetrate the soil and water by air.
The ministry will seek compensation for the victims of these bombs.

Special Report day two: Stillbirths, disabilities, deformities too distressing to describe - what lies behind the torments in Fallujah General Hospital?

[Slideshow of 2] - Robert Fisk: The Children of Fallujah - the hospital of horrors
Dr Aiman Qeis cares for babies at Fallujah General Hospital, which has a high rate of children born with congenital defects
The pictures flash up on a screen on an upper floor of the Fallujah General Hospital. And all at once, Nadhem Shokr al-Hadidi's administration office becomes a little chamber of horrors. A baby with a hugely deformed mouth. A child with a defect of the spinal cord, material from the spine outside the body. A baby with a terrible, vast Cyclopean eye. Another baby with only half a head, stillborn like the rest, date of birth 17 June, 2009. Yet another picture flicks onto the screen: date of birth 6 July 2009, it shows a tiny child with half a right arm, no left leg, no genitalia.
"We see this all the time now," Al-Hadidi says,...
[...]
Now you have an Arab country which has a higher number of deformities or cancers than Europe and you need a proper epidemiological study. I'm sure the Americans used weapons that caused these deformities. But now you have a goodness-knows-what government in Iraq and no study. It's very easy to avoid to doing anything – except for some sympathetic crazy professor like me in London to try and achieve something."
In al-Hadidi's office, there are now photographs which defy words. How can you even begin to describe a dead baby with just one leg and a head four times the size of its body?

Yes, it was after the 1995 massacre in Srebrenica. ... One of them has continuing serious health problems, related to exposure to something toxic, probably depleted uranium shell residue, during Operation Desert Storm. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=119893463
