DU: It's Not Just For Breakfast Anymore

The next time somebody tells you that, regardless of your stand on the issue of war with Iraq, you must "support the troops", have 'em read this interview with Doug Rokke.

Rokke, a career military man was tasked with cleaning up the Depleted Uranium left behind during the first Gulf War. After seeing all of the men on his team either die or become quite ill, he turned into an anti-DU activist. His story is both scary and inspiring.

Interestingly, Rokke reveals that duct tape is not only the recommended agent to save civilians from terrorists, it's also regarded as the cure for soldiers' leaking gas masks!

For those new to the wonderful world of radiological munitions, there're a bunch of informative links set up here.
