depleted uranium

A friend of mine posted a link to a music video on Facebook - Hand On Your Gun by Lowkey. There's a segment at the end that shows a deformed infant, and in the comments was a suggestion that it was a depleted uranium birth defect. I hadn't heard of this before, so I tried to do a bit of...

Toxic legacy of US assault on Fallujah 'worse than Hiroshima' This story has not attracted any US media coverage to my knowledge..

An excellent but highly confronting (all supporters of the Iraq war should watch it!) report into the aftermath of Fallujah. Rather than going into the inevitable debate about DU, my question to those who say DU is harmless; if not DU, then what is causing this epidemic of birth defects and...

There are three old threads concerning the tired old "depleted uranium" controversy on the forum (maybe more), but all are old and arguments between purists, if there is any argument at all besides slamming what Fox news terms "junk science". On the other hand, the issue won't go away as long...

I was surprised not to see this mentioned (cue someone with a link to make me look like an idiot). Front page of today's Guardian was a story about a large rise in birth defects and cancers in children in Fallujah...

It really bothers me that people actually believe the tabloid nonsense about depleted uranium being a radioactive threat to society. These fools have no freaking clue about radioactivity or what the properties of depleted uranium are, do they? Ignorance just pisses me off. The resistance to...

I am pretty sure that this hasn't been hitting major news yet, I won't be suprised if it does after the War in Iraq is over with though. Depleted Uranium is what is currently being used to build tanks, and make bullets for US Troops to use. There has been some suspicion that it may be a...

I keep reading articles on anti-war sights about the depleted uranium poisoning and the hazards of it. It seems like most of the articles have junk-science behind it. While I think the war on Iraq was a farce, I think that making up stories about depleted uranium being toxic is wrong. Is...

Don't know if this has been brought up before but I thought we could discuss the Guld War Syndrome. Lately there's been some talk of depleted uranium in the news, citing it as a possible reason for health problems soldiers had/have. I've also read that Gulf War Syndome was a lot of bunk, and...
