[ RadSafe ] Another Letter to the Editor about DU

[Paul_Prichard at dom.com]

Some you  have privately expressed support when I tell you of another
anti-DU
article in  the media. Some of you have privately asked me to stop sending
such notes to  Radsafe. I would like to know what is preferred: to keep
this to
myself or let  you know what the activists are saying about DU and my
occasionally  responses.

Personally, Barbara, I prefer that you continue posting.  If there are news
pieces that are wrong or deceptive, especially in national news media, I
think it's important for us to be aware of them.  I believe that each one
adds to the cumulative effect of misinformation.  (My personal ire is
raised whenever nuclear power and nuclear weapons proliferation are lumped
together into the same sentence as many seem to do.)  The public should
have the facts (though it may not know what to do with them) and if a few
lone voices from the wilderness can provide the facts, then I also have the
opportunity to learn from them.
