I hadn't seen this elsewhere.

Speculation as to the source?

Disaffected uranium mine workers looking for a union representative.

3 problems with this:
1. We did not use depleted uranium rounds widely in Afganistan. Why? Because they didn't have tanks (duh).
2. Heavy metal contamination is common in many parts of the world that use unfiltered ground water supplies (duh, again)
3. Anybody ask the Russians about weapons they used? They used poison gas there... Uranium has a long half life.
DUH!!!!!
More crap from people that don't really understand what goes on unless it suits their perfect little picture. IE. USA bad, USA evil, USA has money... the Russians don't, so why blame them or try and make them accountable.

The Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation is running an on-going anti-american disinformation campaign:

The slanders against the US account of Private Lynch's rescue

Exaggeration of Iraqi "chaos"

Claims of US "war crimes" in Iraq

The "massacre" at Mazar i-Sharif (sp)

Dusting of old, rancid "war crimes" and DU claims from the 1991 war

Lastly, Durkovic is a Serb with a well established Euro DU hysteria axe to grind against the US

Good Questions:

Is uranium naturally-occurring in Afghanistan?

Did Al-Queda spill some of its "dirty bomb" materials?

Which way does the wind blow from Pakistani nuclear test sites?

Did the Soviets have some nuclear material in Afghanistan?

And, of course, did the US use (almost) depleted uranium weapons?

Probably comes from the standing orders to "nuke 'em til they glow, then shoot 'em in the dark".
