U.S. Colonel Admits That 500 Tons of D.U. Were Just Used in Iraq   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1854 of 9442 |
Re: U.S. Colonel/ I wrote the article, enough slander!

Now, maybe we can discuss the article as it was actaully published.
I am the author of this article and did the interview with the U.S.
Colonel. I have been bombarded with hate mail ever since.

Since I did the interview I have talked to a few other high level
officers who also confirmed that D.U. is used in some B.B. warheads.
I took a great risk to print this article and am suffering greatly
for it. I did not realize the shitstorm this would start when I did
the interview.

To be honest I wasn't conducting an interview about D.U. I was doing
an interview about civilian casualties and the D.U. topic just came
up after the first interview. It took me over an hour to conduct the
last interview, and I was not going to use it. I was convinced to
print it by a lot of journalists who did not have the courage to use
it themselves.

I have watched the tapes of B.B.s hitting and you can see a
pyrophoric fire after some of the hits in Baghdad. I saw just the
type of burnoff you have when D.U. hits a target. I saw it during the
first Gulf War so I know what it looks like.

If anyone has any problems with my interview, then talk to me. I keep
geting yelled at by so called "experts" but I had the balls to
publish this after being warned not to by D.I.S.

I am tired of getting hate mail telling me I was messing up the cause
of trying to ban D.U. I don't see how this does any damage to
anyone's agenda except for the Pentagon's and the government.

Let the argument rage on. I will try to defend myself to the best of
my ability.

Jay Shaft, editor, C.F.T.M.

Look, Jay, if you think I'm sending you hate mail, you're way off base, and perhaps you should check the e-mail again. I'm just saying that you shouldn't have...
