Subject: Depleted Uranium Quote
 
I was watching C-Span this morning(Monday) and there was a new general with
Jamie Shea giving the NATO briefing.  I believe the military man was German.

One of the journalists asked if depleted uranium was being used in the bombing
campaign.  The general went into a straw man arguement how if the question
were whether nuclear devices were being used, then no, no nuclear devices were
being used.  Then he sort of muttered at the end that there was no
radioactivity associated with the depleted uranium being used.

Is this correct that the depleted uranium is not radioactive?   It did not
seem to jive with what I remember  from the  Military Toxics Project
literature I have reviewed.
