Depleted Uranium -- the U.S. military and tactical nuclear weapons ...

What I want to know is how the U.S. reconciles its indiscriminate littering
of other countries with depleted uranium with its recent hysteria that
says that all radioactivity is an act of terrorism.

In other words, the thousands if not millions of depleted uranium shells we
litter Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries are perfectly "safe" and pose
no threat to health whatsoever, yet at the same time we have lined our
borders with radiation detectors which alert at even the tiniest fraction
of the radioactivity of a single depleted uranium shell. In fact, just
the other day the newspaper carried a story about how Americans undergoing
radiation treatment for cancer could trigger the detectors and how they
should carry documentation of their treatment to prove they're not
terrorists. So according to the U.S. government, thousands of radioactive
depleted uranium shells (which are also a toxic heavy metal aside from
their radioactivity) are "harmless," but someone with trace amounts of
radioactive iodine in their bloodstream to treat thyroid cancer is a
terrorist.
Does the word "depleted" mean anything to you dumbass???

Please don't feed the Troll.
