*Los Alamos - Researchers find time in dusty polar
ice*<http://www.lanl.gov/news/index.php/fuseaction/home.story/story_id/1034>
* *
Note that this uses measurements of "femtograms" - one quadrillionth of a
gram -- same (except misspelled) measurement as that for Specialist Matthew
Gerard of NY National Guard
http://www.lanl.gov/news/index.php/fuseaction/home.story/story_id/1034

correction the unit of measure for one quadrillionth of a gram is the fem
(with an M) togram, not fentogram (that is the spelling used by Juan
Gonzales in his NY Daily News article -- what Mr Gonzales fails to reveal is
his close connection with the NY City NoMoreDU group and Carl Lundgren --
Gonzales got his paper to have the NY Guardsmen tested by the UMRC which
found this extremely low level of so-called DU -- more than likely natural
uranium in each of them.  The health claims that they then make sound more
like a sitcom than real life.

*Guided Bomb Unit-28 (GBU-28) Bunker Buster - Smart
Weapons*<http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/gbu-28.htm%20>
* *
Bunker Buster Bomb - Federation of American Scientists - Note that there is
NO DU in this bomb
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/gbu-28.htm

Rokke and Moret claim that Israel used these DU tipped bombs in Lebanon -
Rokke went so far as to claim that the DU dust cloud would drift across the
Mediterranean and poison the island of Cypress.  Note that there is no DU in
this bunker buster bomb -- then take a look at Miraki's claims again about
DU in Afghanistan .. Muhammed Daud Miraki is a con artist and he will
someday get his just due, but for now he is basking in the lecture circuit
with fellow con artists Rokke and Moret
