This is terrible.

The article tells of the longterm effects of Depleted Uranium. However, the long term effects aren't the ONLY effects.

Stories like the one in the article remind me so much of things like Agent Orange and of just how little the government REALLY cares about the people.

A lump of DU hanging round the necks of the buggers might not do too much. Getting them to breath in / ingest some DU dust might do the trick though.
