What is your point (left wing/right wing)?

What about what the article said?

....Though the 'news' item acknowledged the material's density, it did not tell readers that it has a half-life of 4.6 billion years, The longer the half life the less radioactive a substance is.

In addition, most of its radioactivity has been virtually exhausted. That is why it is called depleted uranium.

You would literally get more radioactivity from sleeping with a journalist than you would from a uranium clad anti-tank shell. Moreover, if these journalists and other left-wing critics of the Gulf War are right about these shell fragments then background radiation must have risen significantly. Yet tests carried out in Kuwait could find no increased radiation in the air, water or soil.....
