While I think the US has more to fear from its leaders and traditional truck bombs I think this is just left over hype from the 'saddam has nuke materials' argument.

Speaking of dirty bombs, it seems a bit hypocritical to cast this as an evil that should not befall americans at the same time that our military is littering iraq, afghanistan, bosnia and anywhere else we fight a war with tons of radiological materials as a result of detonating and shooting DU weaponry.

You would think that the people that don't care about the 'enemy' would at least be concerned about the effect these weapons have on our soldiers.

I read an article just the other day about how the DOD is refusing to authorise tests for soldiers that suspect they may be radiologically contaminated.

I think that DU is certain to become the agent orange of the 21st century as far as the lingering effects on our soldiers and enemy civilians go.
