When I read articles written by concerned investigative journalist that scares the hell out of me, and find out later those articles which were doing what the First Amendment requires of Journalists are quashed, squashed, hidden and put under the rug [so to speak] leaves a lot to be desired as time blunders and stumbles along as our young men and women and the Public at Large's lives are actually put on the "chopping block" as the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the sick become sicker, the homeless and displaced humans list become larger as the "victims" are used for experimental purposes by Big Pharma's as they pollute the global water and food supplies. In that light it is appropriate to share a clip from one such article which was swept under the rug.. so to speak.
clip: A group of American soldiers suffering from unexplained illnesses due to service in the Iraqi war have been diagnosed with radiation contamination likely caused by dust from depleted uranium shells fired by US troops.
An investigation funded by the New York Daily News found that several members of the 442nd Military Police Company, based in Orangeburg, New York, “almost certainly” inhaled radioactive dust from exploded American shells manufactured with depleted uranium (DU).
A nuclear medicine expert and former Army doctor, Dr. Asaf Durakovic, tested nine men who had been battling serious physical problems that began last summer in the Iraqi town of Samawah. Laboratory tests revealed traces of two manmade forms of uranium in urine samples from four of the soldiers. The men—Sgt. Hector Vega, Sgt. Ray Ramos, Sgt. Agustin Matos and Cpl. Anthony Yonnone—are the first confirmed cases of inhaled depleted uranium exposure from the war, according to the Daily News report. The soldiers contacted the newspaper after six of them were denied testing for DU by Army doctors and the three who were tested waited months for results. Two in the latter group suspiciously tested negative.
Dispatched to Iraq a year ago, the unit, made up for the most part of New York policemen, firefighters and correction officers, has been providing security for convoys, operating jails and training Iraqi police.
“These are amazing results, especially since these soldiers were military police not exposed to the heat of battle. Other American soldiers who were in combat must have more depleted uranium exposure,” Durakovic, a colonel in the Army Reserves who served in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, told the Daily News. Dr. Durakovic is affiliated to the Uranium Medical Research Centre, an international association of scientists and physicians—the first study organization to detect DU in the urine of Canadian, British and US troops who served in the first Gulf War.
The Army and Pentagon, under pressure from veterans’ groups who blame DU contamination as a factor in Gulf War Syndrome, have conducted studies which essentially concluded that DU exposure does not present a major health risk. Gulf War Syndrome is a term for a myriad of ailments that afflicts thousands of veterans of that war. A Pentagon study published in 2000 concluded that DU, as a heavy metal, “could pose a chemical hazard’ but that Gulf War veterans “did not experience intakes high enough to affect their health.” Pentagon spokesman Michael Kilpatrick said “the overwhelming conclusion” from the studies of those who work with uranium is that “it has not produced any increase in cancer.” This article was titled "Testing of New York guardsmen: first confirmed cases of Iraq war depleted uranium exposure" By Joanne Laurier, 21 April 2004http://www.wsws.org/en/
