On April 26, 2008, the BBC Alabama arrived in Longview, Wash., carrying 6,700 tons of Kuwaiti sand. The sand had become contaminated with depleted uranium when U.S. military vehicles and munitions caught fire at Doha Army base in Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War. The depleted uranium was being repatriated. The sand was a gift of the Kuwaiti government. So was the cost of repatriation. Neither government will discuss just how much the tab was.

At the last minute, the Army notified port authorities that tests had revealed that the sand was also contaminated with lead -- in fact, four times more lead than the EPA's limit for hazardous materials. Transshipment was delayed for a few days awaiting a green light from the EPA. Wilcox told the Daily News that he hoped the delivery would be a one-time thing. Over the next month, longshoremen loaded 160 containers onto railcars bound for an Idaho-based waste disposal site owned by a company called American Ecology. When the sand arrived at the Idaho site, the company did its own tests and, as Chad Hyslop, project director for American Ecology, told the Daily News, "found no hazardous levels of lead."

so they got the green light from the EPA (another one of our governments worthless agencies) just like the FDA that let's contaminated food into this country.

all we have to do is sit and wait for our government to kill us one way or the other.

when all is said and done.....................we are dead!

and it never ceases to amaze me that the citizens of the united states of america believe what they are told by our government thru the media. our military gets away with murder and our citizens, sheppal that they are, afraid.................afraid of what.........our government? our government should be afraid of its people. remember, remember the 5th of november. the rise of the fourth reich happening all over again...................but first they must kill off a few million this is just another way and still people with eyes cannot see and ears that cannot hear.

thanks for the star.

Wow, that sure is one heck of an operation you are trying to unravel there. You really need to concentrate and develop each aspect and then tie it all together in the end. I think that your concept is too disjointed at the moment to sway many towards your argument position.

I am interested in the part about plans being stolen from German planes. Can you elaborate a little on that and tell us more about it?

Star and a flag for musselwhite.
