Kinda strange...They use depleted uranium in the medical field for shielding from radiation. (replacing lead? I wonder which is more dangerous?) It's also used in dental porcelain, pigments and glazes. Hmmm.
Also strange, are these folks freaking-out about the military using the super-dense DU for penetrating warheads, and it's "excessive radiation". Perhaps folks would rather we defend our troops with water cannons? The point of those warheads is to penetrate solid steel, and kill. No justification, no apologies. They were designed to kill those that would otherwise kill our guys-n-gals. DU is also used to clad tanks and troop haulers, offering a greater level of protection from RPG and missle attacks.

Again, in regards to the safety of DU:
Depleted Uranium and the IAEA

Since the advent of the nuclear age, there has been widespread use of uranium involving the mining of uranium ore, enrichment, and nuclear fuel fabrication. These industries have employed large numbers of people, and studies of the health of working populations have been carried out. The main risk to miners, and not just those involved in uranium mining, comes from exposures to radon (mainly Rn-222) gas and its decay products. A study of miners who worked in poorly ventilated mines at a time when the hazards of radon were not known and thus had been exposed to high levels of radon, demonstrated that this group had an excess of lung cancers and that the risk of cancer increased with increasing exposure to radon gas. Studies of workers exposed to uranium in the nuclear fuel cycle have also been carried out. There are some reported excesses of cancers but, unlike the miners, no correlation with exposure can be seen. The main finding of these studies has been that the health of workers is better than the average population. This "healthy worker effect" is thought to be due to the selection process inherent in employment and to the overall benefits of employment.

Regarding exposures to DU, there have been studies of the health of military personnel who saw action in the Gulf War (1990-1991) and during the Balkan conflicts (1994-99). A small number of Gulf war veterans have inoperable fragments of DU embedded in their bodies. They have been the subject of intense study and the results have been published. These veterans show elevated excretion levels of DU in urine but, so far, there have been no observable health effects due to DU in this group. There have also been epidemiological studies of the health of military personnel who saw action in conflicts where DU was used, comparing them with the health of personnel who were not in the war zones. The results of these studies have been published and the main conclusion is that the war veterans do show a small (i.e., not statistically significant) increase in mortality rates, but this excess is due to accidents rather than disease. This cannot be linked to any exposures to DU.

And yes, I do have little patience for those unwilling to search any deeper for the truth, than late-night comedians, editorial journalists, and peer pressure from jr. high dropouts looking to even the score with society for their own inadequacies, by pushing conspiracy theories and snide remarks that are unsubstantiated, untrue, and patently nonsensical. <takes deep breath>
Lack of intelligent reasoning or enlightenment, appears to be the new norm.
