Bobert, Point taken, but keep your spear clean too. You must remember that by this time in his Administration, Clinton had four Cabinet level officer under indictment by his own Justice Department. Later, two were convicted, one died in a plane crash though his son was convicted of the same offenses, and one was adjudicated innocent by an all black jury).

McGrath, the idea of depleted uranium is that it is depleted. According to the VA medical reports on the ex-Gulf War complaints, there is less radioactive material in a six pack of tank shells than in your radium dial wrist watch. As I recall one of the comments in a recent Senate hearing, on the subject (which I regularly get as part of the Agent Orange Study Group) "You'll get more radiation from moving your house 100 feet further up the hill towards the sun, than you'd get from handling these shells". They further pointed out that when handling the Iraqui wounded, the American medical staff took no special percautions, and have indicated no further difficulties or symtoms. Interestingly, to my knowledge, the Iraqis have made no such claims either.
