I really hope Aljazeera is being biased and totally propagandist on this one.

it was really clever keeping DU out of the thread title, to avoid having folks who actually have technical knowledge of DU show up."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Read the first part and got to this:
So the DU issue rides again. As for the article, well, I stopped reading there. Not because I think DU is harmless (I actually think the long-term health effects require serious study), but rather due to the clear slant of the article. I couldn't take it seriously.The WMD in question is depleted uranium (DU).

This is one instance where Al Jazeera has a point... they are the Islamic World's FOX though... no doubt about that.
BTW, the use of depleted uranium is considered use of a weapon of mass destruction by the UN.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

There's nothing new about this. Depleted Uranium has been used since GW I and also has been used in Kosovo. You don't have to read Aljazeera for knowing that. I' d even rate it as common knowledge.
And, DU doesn't only harm it's targets, but also the coalition soldiers. It harms virtually everyone who spends a longer time there.justice is mightComment

Which is rather silly.BTW, the use of depleted uranium is considered use of a weapon of mass destruction by the UN.

Well bear in mind that Uranium itself it incredibly toxic.Speaking of Erith:

I think the military's claims about the relative harmlessness of DU to be unlikely, I'll say that. At the end of the day, the Army doesn't seem to really give a **** what the battlefield ends up like after they've fought the battle. Which isn't good.
But DU, whatever you may think about it (use it, don't use it, use it in only certain situations), is certainly not a WMD as we know them.

Yeah, it is not that radioactive. But when fired at such high velocities would form a dust. It would be like breathing in lead dust, not very good for you...Speaking of Erith:
