Dirty Tricks, Dirty Water, Dirty Bombs
When did we give the Department of Defence approval for creating and deploying weaponry made with spent-nuclear material? The press rarely mentions the composition of our bombs and artillery shells. Using nuclear waste material is a huge sea-change for the United States military and for us as a nation.
There have been reports about our using dirty bombs and other weapons yet no one is commenting on the radiation effects in the place bombed and any living inhabitants. If nuclear waste material in weapons is harmless, then why does the government--and most of us--fear a terrorist bomb of the same?
If anyone recalls the Congressional hearings or debates about this, I would like to know more. In the meantime, I plan to obtain better, more precise information on these weapons.
