Although, to be fair, NONE of these alleged uranium ordnance signatures have
been independently confirmed by anyone other than the apparently defunct Uranium
Medical Research Center, and their peer-reviewed work on the subject was much
more equivocal than this bold assertion (see nuclearresister.org/du-disinfo.pdf
for a discussion of their peer reviewed work vs. public PR statements and
speculative "reports"). Furthermore, UMRC's lab work in the David Nibby case
and others raised significant question about the quality of their singular
analysis.
And finally, if the uranium has spread thru the atmosphere in any measurable
quantity as far away as England (as Green Audit has claimed, again using
equivocal data and unconfirmed methodology) then how can one rule out that any
alleged weaponized U found in Gaza (or Lebanon, for that matter) is not simply
fallout from lots of 30mm and 120 DU rounds used in Iraq (Gaza and Lebanon being
much closer, and presumably, recipient of more fallout from Iraq than England)?
Look for a report coming soon from ICBUW based on the work of Human Rights Watch
and others on the ground in Gaza.
They have found no evidence of DU use in Gaza, or for that matter, evidence that
bunker busters were used significantly against the Rafah tunnels, or even needed
to be, given the geology of the area.
The ICBUW report will be shared with this list when it is released.

p.s. for Upsilquitch - your forensics are speculative and no more trustworthy
than your never-replicated data from Afghanistan.
