After having heard his talk when Rokke was here in Davis earlier last

month, I can't laugh because it was sad to see him enthrall his audience

with a steady supply of half-truths, misrepresentations, and factual

errors. Although Rokke claims to be a "health physicist" and implies that

he has a doctorate in Physics, he is actually trained in "education

methodology", seems to know only a little about health physics, and is

currently a substitute teacher at a middle school in Illinois. He was never

"head of the Pentagon's Depleted Uranium Project on Gulf War Casualties and

Depleted Uranium", although he apparently worked as a military liaison to

the contractor hired by the DOD to do DU cleanup.
