    It should be a war crime.

    Reminds me of a quote from Rep Jim McDermott (Quoted in Anti-Flag's song, Depleted Uranium Is A Warcrime) about talking to doctors whilst on a tour of Iraq:
    "The doctor said, 'Women at the time of birth don't ask if it's a boy or a girl, they ask: Is it normal?'"

    I don't trust a word out of that guy's mouth. He'll say anything, not to mention was convicted of violating federal wiretapping laws.

    As for the story; the defect rate is disturbingly high relative to Europe. However, they don't say what the rate was before 2004, and they aren't sure what is causing the defects now. And this thread was about white phosphorous, not depleted uranium.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
