[ RadSafe ] Letter to the Muskegon Chronicle

[Doug Aitken]

Enough, Already!
I think it is somewhat "dirty pool" for James Salsman to call into question 
the credentials of Bob Cherry, given that, by his own admission some time 
back, he has gleaned his (glibly proclaimed) knowledge of all things 
relevant to DU from trolling through the internet and has no professional 
qualifications whatsoever to enable him to separate fact from propaganda.

And as he now (finally) admits that the hazard of DU is in the realm of 
chemical toxicology, it is an irrelevant discussion for the RADSAFE group. 
Just line it up with lead, tungsten and all the other heavy objects people 
fire at each other in wartime.

Let's get back to discussing topics relevant to Health Physics
Regards
Doug
