The Doctors, the Depleted Uranium and the Dying Children

DEERFIELD, MA - August 13 - Veterans, military families, activists and

Produktion in 2004 in Germany and is available through Traprock Peace
Center in Deerfield, Massachusetts through the website, www.traprockpeace.org.

Iraq. The story is told by citizens of many nations and opens with

Siegwart-Horst Günther, a former colleague of Albert Schweitzer, and

Weyman led the investigative team that gathered samples for analysis for

2003 field investigations in Iraq. "The human and environmental samples
