America's Use Of Radiological
Weapons Calls For An
International Tribunal
'The military alliance cobbled together by George Bush Sr. won a decisive victory in that war. But since its conclusion at least 13,000 American veterans have died from DU-related causes, far more than the 148 who died in combat; and of the nearly 700,000 who served in the war at least 250,000 are now (in 2007) permanently disabled; a percentage far higher than in any previous war. Despite this, Pentagon generals continue to insist that DU munitions pose no danger, and remain committed to their use.'
