The ultimate dirty bomb......

The above individual seems to haunt Usenet groups pushing a DVD Beyond
Treason; this might even be commercial use of Usenet because the DVD
is sold through Amazon and other stores .. it is also full of trash
talk about the United States. The people on it who speak about
Depleted Uranium, which is not even a bomb, let alone a dirty bomb and
uranium is the last substance that you would use for a dirty bomb
since it extremely weakly radioactive .. what the trash talkers fail
to tell you is that a half-life of 4.5 billion years means that it is
so weakly radioactive that half of the isotope decays to lead in 4.5
billion years, the age of the Earth. Polonium, on the other hand, the
210 isotope is believed to have killed the former Russian Agent in
London, has a half-life of 21 days. That type of radioactive
substance is deadly. The anti-DU crusade began when Saddam wanted out
from under the UN Sanctions that ended the Gulf War and he wanted to
make the US/UK look like the real ogres -- the "peace movement" that
visited Iraq before the fall of Baghdad bought into this; they were
shown horrific pictures of supposed defective child birth
monstrosities which still circulate around the net. They have no
connection to DU other than that you are told that they do. For some
real facts about DU, go to DUStory at Yahoo Groups.com or write me ..
I will send you links to factual articles .from all over go see what
real scientists have to say instead of activists who just pretend to
be scientists or scientists who decided activism trumped science.
