Veteran Australian film maker David Bradbury is releasing his new film, "Blowin' in the Wind".
Two years in the making, the film examines the use and effects of depleted uranium in the first invasion of Iraq.
The film also examines activities undertaken in military training facilities in Australia, by the US forces.
Bradbury said that he stumbled across the subject of depleted uranium when he met someone who'd seen one of his earlier documentaries about Jabiluka.
"They offered to pay for me to attend the uranium weapons conference in Hamburg. That's where I met whistleblower Doug Rokke, a former captain in the US Air Force who was sent to Iraq to lead a 100-strong clean-up team in the aftermath of the first Gulf war.
"Two years after he returned to the States, tests revealed he had 5000 times the acceptable level of uranium contamination in his body, due to his exposure to depleted uranium. Today, half the group he took to Iraq are dead, and Doug is being kept alive with very expensive drugs., but he's also dying."

Hmm, 5000 times. No wonder he's dying. I think the US figured they'd get rid of their stocks of depleted uranium the easy way; drop it on enemy soil. No wonder this issue has been covered up.
Considering that depleted uranium has a half-life of 200,000 years, the reality of the WOMD debacle pales in comparison. Dropping that insidious poison on an enemy renders that area deadly virtually for ever.
Did the US admin not consider the fact that their own forces would be walking through the fallout from these "dirty" bombs? They also would have fully understood the ramifications for the ordinary Iraqi people. Meaning mutations for centuries, and a death toll that is still rising. And now they are back there again, meaning more deaths for their own, and the allied forces that stupidly joined this idiotic farce.
Am I alone in condemning the US admin for this atrocious abuse of civil and military rights? They don't even care about their own men. So much for the "no casualties" bullshite. No body bags, not for a few years.
Also, could the use of these bombs have been the catalyst that set off the chain of events leading to the current status? Meaning 11/9 and the reprisal attack by Bush jnr?
