VIEQUES ACTIVISTS ON DU IMPACT

         Nilda Medina in Vieques

   While in Vieques in September 2007, I spoke with Nilda Medina, Ismael Guadalupe, filmmaker Andres Nieves and Robert Rabin, founders and members of the Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques, on the impact from contamination from the U.S. Navy bombing practice on the Puerto Rican island. These interviews are part of a developing documentary on the impact of depleted uranium contamination on people and the environment.
   Nilda speaks of the need for health services, Ismael offers insights into the resistance against the U.S. Navy presence for over 60 years and the contamination, Andres tells how he was personally affected, and Robert scopes out the history of the occupation and the extent of the contamination. These are roughly compiled video clips, basically unaltered, about 10 minutes each. To view these,  visit this web page ... -- Wes Rehberg .

    Dear Wes,
    I am very happy to see your website. Keep up the good work. Our church in its national meeting (1777 UCC beiennial Synod in Hartford, CT)in a resolution I wrote, denounced the use of DU in US weapons, but this received little publicity in the national media.
