I'M CONVINCED THAT DU USE IS TREACHEROUS -- I HOPE YOU ARE, TOO
| Researching the sites listed in this blog, it became clear that those engaged in warfare are using depleted uranium munitions without regard for the everlasting toxicological and radiological impact on the planet and its life.
For humans, the impact is killing and crippling - read the posts herein to understand why. The arguments for the "precautionary principle" advanced by scientists and physicians is compelling -- those who would employ and deploy depleted uranium should take every means to assure that its use is safe; victims and the general public shouldn't have to bear that burden.
Unfortunately, even WHO and the IAEA have argued that its use in munitions doesn't present the hazards that are asserted in the posts here. To me, this is mindful disregard, a displacement that is deadly and treacherous. War is equally evil, but its impacts up to now haven't so deeply threatened life on the planet.
The CPT delegation is part of a decades-old international effort to bring this disregard and treachery into public conversation, so that we can, since we have to, be those who espouse the "precautionary principle" regarding DU use. Life depends on it. Read the posts included here and elsewhere. I hope you'll join this campaign. -- Wes Rehberg |

What exactly convinced you that DU is treacherous? Do you know how much uranium is in your own back yard? Do you know that the uranium in your own backyard is more radioactive than DU? Do you have any scientific training whatsoever? I look forward to your answers. I am also interested in who prepared your teaching guides and what exactly they have in terms of actual knowledge of the subject. The main problem with the entire anti-DU crusade is that it is one of people pretending to know a lot like Rokke or Miraki leading people who do not know anything at all. So, I am interested in finding out exactly what information each of you believes is true. I expect that if you actually checked with someone outside the movement that you would find a number of fallacies if not outright lies. When you realize that you are using outright lies, will you stop using them, will you tell people that they were false or will you continue to peddle them? Inquiring minds want to know.
