Mushrooming depleted uranium (DU) scandal
Heads roll at Veterans Administration

Preventive Psychiatry E-Newsletter charged Monday that the reason Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi stepped down earlier this month was the growing scandal surrounding the use of uranium munitions in the Iraq War.
Writing in Preventive Psychiatry E-Newsletter No. 169, Arthur N. Bernklau, executive director of Veterans for Constitutional Law in New York, stated, â??The real reason for Mr. Principiâ??s departure was really never given, however a special report published by eminent scientist Leuren Moret naming depleted uranium as the definitive cause of the â??Gulf War Syndromeâ?? has fed a growing scandal about the continued use of uranium munitions by the US Military.â?�

Bernklau continued, â??This malady (from uranium munitions), that thousands of our military have suffered and died from, has finally been identified as the cause of this sickness, eliminating the guessing. The terrible truth is now being revealed.â?�

He added, â??Out of the 580,400 soldiers who served in GW1 (the first Gulf War), of them, 11,000 are now dead! By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on Permanent Medical Disability. This astounding number of â??Disabled Vetsâ?? means that a decade later, 56% of those soldiers who served have some form of permanent medical problems!â?� The disability rate for the wars of the last century was 5 percent; it was higher, 10 percent, in Viet Nam.

â??The VA Secretary (Principi) was aware of this fact as far back as 2000,â?� wrote Bernklau. â??He, and the Bush administration have been hiding these facts, but now, thanks to Moretâ??s report, (it) ... is far too big to hide or to cover up!â?�

â??Terry Jamison, Public Affairs Specialist, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Department of Veterans Affairs, at the VA Central Office, recently reported that â??Gulf Era Veteransâ?? now on medical disability, since 1991, number 518,739 Veterans,â?� said Berklau.

â??The long-term effects have revealed that DU (uranium oxide) is a virtual death sentence,â?� stated Berklau. â??Marion Fulk, a nuclear physical chemist, who retired from the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, and was also involved with the Manhattan Project, interprets the new and rapid malignancies in the soldiers (from the 2003 Iraq War) as â??spectacular â?¦ and a matter of concern!â??â?�

When asked if the main purpose of using DU was for â??destroying things and killing people,â?� Fulk was more specific: â??I would say it is the perfect weapon for killing lots of people!â?�

Principi could not be reached for comment prior to deadline.

it's called double think. no one else can possibly even think about obtaining something might be used to build some WMD, but we are allowed to actively use depleted uranium weapons of mass destruction.

skip over their posts and ignore them.
