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.
