[ RadSafe ] Anti-nuclear zealots over the globe.

Well, I followed the link to see if I could get a look at those avid new
nuclear plant blockers, and I saw exactly nada. Just some relatively old
stuff about how all the DU ordnance loosed on Iraq is still a problem,
with a kicker toward the end noting that Iraq still has a lot of land
mines strewn about.

How, exactly do you make the leap from these uncontroversial and
undeniable points of fact to "avidly blocking new nuclear power plants?"


In fact, there was no connection to nuclear power in the article at all
until you just made one. I'm not sure that helps the cause.

Years after the US attacks on Iraq, people in the Persian Gulf state are
suffering form the consequences of radioactive contamination caused by
the use of depleted uranium.

Iraq's Environment Minister, Narmin Othman Hasan, said Monday that
depleted Uranium (DU) weapons used by US-led troops against Iraq during
the1991 Persian Gulf War and the 2003 invasion still blight the country.

Othman Hasan said the use of super-tough weapons by the US-led forces
had a devastating impact on the nation and has become a serious
environmental challenge since they have contaminated several parts of
the country. ..."
