Re: The War and the Environment

I think the use of Depleted Uranium as artillery is criminal.  While
effective, it should be banned under the Geneva Convention for the same
reasons chemical and biological weapons are not allowed.  The long term
impact of these radioactive and toxic materials harm civilians and the
environment.  As the environment is regional and global in nature, the
legacy of DU ballistics will last long after the current police action.

Just one more reason why the DoD is not qualified to act impartially as the
lead agency in environmental cleanups.
