Dec. 3

         Well said, Mike.  It's almost enough to make one think the 
campaign against DU is an ideological campaign, and one that has nothing to 
with anything pertaining to humanitarian considerations.  If the so-called 
Non-Aligned states had ready access to DU munitions I'm certain they would 
be gleefully using them to incincerate their enemies.
