[ RadSafe ] Depleted Uranium Activists

[Roger Helbig]

I have been made the personal target of anti-DU activists Doug Rokke, Leuren Moret, Dennis Kyne and their mouthpiece internet "journalist" Bob Nichols and I have come to your list because I have contacted a few of you.  I am a porcupine and not exactly the one you want to make mad and these folks, by slandering me all over the net and attempting to destroy my reputation for truthfullness have made me mad.  I welcome contact with any of you who have information to share about the hyping of depleted uranium as being a genocidal "trojan horse nuclear" weapon and the threat it poses to the American soldier and the even more important Iraqi civilian.  I have seen too many articles which parrot the hype, including one quoting a highly respected local cardiac surgeon who claims to have seen Iraqi babies disfigured by genetic defects due to their having been exposed to DU.  It is time that these people are stopped with a concentrated factual offensive or the American soldier will lose its one-shot one-kill tank killing capability inherent in DU munitions.

Thanks.

I got into this mess because I took advanced freshman physics (for engineers), am a geologist by degree, trained AF Disaster Preparedness (NBC) Officer and worked at a Navy Nuclear Shipyard for half my civilian career and I know some nuclear engineers .. anyway, I know enough to know that these folks are lying and that they don't know what they are talking about, but I sure can use some professional help
