[ RadSafe ] Anti-nuclear zealots over the globe.

[garyi at trinityphysics.com]

Hi John,

You are quite right that Maury's referenced article did not support his claim of zealots avidly 
blocking new nuclear power plants.  That article was really an Iranian DU propaganda piece 
meant to create social guilt in the US for political leverage.

But Maury's implied claim is nevertheless accurate.  If you need other articles that do support 
his claim, I'll be happy to post a few.  

Now that we've tidied up that point, can you please clarify your use of the phrase 
"uncontroversial and undeniable".  It seems silly to ask, but are you in fact refering to the 
article cited by Maury, the Iranian propaganda piece?  If so, do you really think the article is 
"uncontroversial and undeniable"?

Thanks,
-Gary

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. ..." ---------------snipped, see link for complete
