Well, I can't substantiate that radiation poisoning is or even might be a problem. I see it is "feared" that radiation poisoning "may" or "might" be happening. I see that villagers are "complaining" they are getting sick, but no one has established that it "radiation poisoning" "is" actually occurring. news.google.com In fact, radiation poisoning is such a hot story that it hasn't been news worthy for at least two days per Google. As with all the other mass hysteria about the war on terror, the Iraq war & the Bush Administration, I will watch & wait for reality to unfold before I become concerned. I see no need to give credence to preemptive finger pointing & passing of blame at this time. I've witnessed far too much wild speculation passed off as fact only to watch it become fiction when time & reality exposes facts & the truth. I've noticed that when this happens, it is immediately forgotten by those who made the baseless allegations. No one admits they were wrong. However, it is invariably followed by more wild speculation & preemptive finger pointing time & time again. That has really been the really illuminating part for me. Too bad those constantly participating in it remain so blind. It's mostly political posturing, political propaganda & hate mongering, so I'm not going to get too excited about each new boogeyman that gets conjured up & thrown at the wall.
