We don't need this type of negativity for the uranium sector, but I suppose this type of news is inevitable from time to time.

NATO and Depleted Uranium

Afghan ‘health link’ to uranium, by Dawood Azami, One Planet, BBC World Service, news.bbc.co.uk, April 30 ‘08

“The Canada-based Uranium Medical Research Centre (UMRC) believes the cause might be depleted uranium.

“In 2002 and 2003 the group ran programmes analysing urine from Afghans.

“In some, it found levels of uranium hundreds of times greater than in Gulf War veterans.

“Asaf Durakovic, URMC’s president and a former US army adviser, believes that exposure to DU weapons may have brought a rise in birth defects as well as “symptoms of muscular-skeletal pains, immune system disorders, lung disease, and eventually cancer”. “

EU spokesman explains how globalist integration works

‘Jury’s out’ on future of Europe, EU doyen says, by Andrew Rettman, euobserver.com, March 16 ‘09

From an interview with Belgian aristocrat Etienne Davignon, who “worked under EU ‘founding father’ Paul-Henri Spaak”.

“Mr Davignon predicted that deeper EU integration as envisaged in the Lisbon treaty will continue due to a “majority movement” ["majority" can't refer to a count of individuals and must refer to NGOs and established ruling political parties] that is “irresistible over a period of time,” even if an individual member state opts out.”
