The Pentagon's Dirty Little Secret Weapon

It's been called the "Agent Orange" of the Iraq War. It's extremely toxic, illegal according to international law, and certainly immoral. What is it? Depleted Uranium. So why does the U.S. use it? It is cheap and effective.
Remember the term "Gulf War Syndrome?" Those "inexplicable" symptoms that so many of the first Iraq war presented? It's not a mystery--it's depleted uranium poisoning. Add those cases to the sharp increase in Iraqi cancer rates, birth defects and tumors, and it is brutally apparent that there is a problem. But the U.S. continues to use these munitions with impunity.
When I was in Washington for Camp Democracy, I attended a workshop on Depleted Uranium given by a woman named Marla Benoist. She founded an organization called "Info-Web," and travels the country in an effort to educate the public about this heinous issue. She will be giving the workshop here in Corvallis, on Sunday, December 10th, at 7:00 pm at the Unitarian Fellowship, 2945 NW Circle Blvd. Please come and learn more about the Pentagon's Dirty Little Secret Weapon.
