In Part 1 and 2 we covered Dr Bill Wilsons - Scottish MP's communication with the British Minister of Defence, Liam Fox and no doubt Bill will be waiting until the cows come home for a brief spin of a reply!
Bill also wrote to the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Louis B. Susman...interesting surname don't you think?....I guess Dr Wilson may have "sussed him out already."
The letter covered a broad range of issues ranging from character assassinations to DU Health issues etc and was very well worded; The headlines certainly attracted much attention from the readers "Scottish Parliamentarian asks US ambassador re “character assassination” of depleted uranium (DU) activists and US compliance with DU health directives."
Bill certainly does not hold back his punches as you will see from his own introduction and his communication to the Ambassador which is shown below:

Scottish Parliamentarian asks US ambassador re “character assassination” of DU activists

Scottish Parliamentarian asks US ambassador re “character assassination” of depleted uranium (DU) activists and US compliance with DU health directives
Member of the Scottish Parliament, Dr Bill Wilson, is raising the issue of depleted uranium (DU) with the US ambassador to the UK. In a letter to Ambassador Louis B. Susman, he has asked whether a person who has been “scurrilously attacking the credibility of [DU] informants” is or was employed by any wing of the US Government or military. He has also asked Ambassador Susman what the US Government is doing to ensure compliance with various US and international regulations, directives, bulletins and medical orders pertaining to DU, and drawn his attention to reports of a US Army order to destroy military records.
Dr Wilson said, “In the course of campaigning for openness and justice with regard to the use of DU weapons, I have been contacted by an individual who seems intent on discrediting those seeking to expose the impact of this hideous radioactive substance and to champion the health and welfare of those affected by it. I have seen enough evidence to be convinced that DU shells have been widely used by the USA and the UK, with grave consequences for the health of both civilians and service personnel, in flagrant breach of numerous medical orders etc. I therefore suspect the motives of the individual who has been attempting to assassinate the characters of my informants and would like to know if he has any official connections with the US government.
“If DU has a fraction of the health impact that I believe it does, then the moral, legal and financial ramifications of its use, and of any attempts to cover these up or obstruct their investigation, would be enormous. If those in positions of authority in the USA and UK have a shred of integrity they will act now to thoroughly investigate the situation, to comply with all regulations and recommendations, to clear up the mess they have left behind in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, and to diagnose and treat those affected.
“I have spoken of the impact on women in Fallujah – advised not to have children because the risk of deformity is so high. It’s not only civilians who are suffering, however. Not least affected are UK and US service personnel, who, I am led to believe, have been badly let down by the countries they risked their lives for. At least the Italian Ministry of Defence was previously held to account in court for its failure to protect its troops against DU. If our governments do not act now to remedy things then they will certainly be condemned by history.”

US Embassy

London, W1A 1AE
England
Dear Ambassador Susman
[NAME REDACTED] and the US approach to depleted uranium regulations
In the course of campaigning on the issue of depleted uranium and its effects on civilians and service personnel (the last press release may be found here), I have got to know many dedicated scientists and campaigners. However, I have also made the acquaintance of someone calling himself “[NAME REDACTED]”. He has, on more than one occasion, sent me emails scurrilously attacking the credibility of my informants. I know, from various documents I have seen, that his attacks are baseless. I have also been supplied with other information on [NAME REDACTED], which suggests his stock-in-trade is character assassination and his mission is to do whatever it takes to discredit those working to uncover the truth about depleted uranium and to protect the health of civilians and service personnel. The suggestion has been made that Mr [NAME REDACTED] even adopts the identity of those he seeks to discredit in some of his correspondence, the better to spread confusion and disinformation. I am led to believe that he is, or was, associated with the Pentagon. I would be very grateful if you could let me know whether he is, or was ever, employed by any wing of the US Government or military in any capacity and, if so, in what capacity or capacities?
I would also be grateful if you could tell me what the US Government is doing to ensure compliance with:
• Army Regulation 700–48 (Management of Equipment Contaminated with Depleted Uranium or Radioactive Commodities)
• Department of the Army Pamphlet 700–48 (Logistics Handling Procedures for Equipment Contaminated with Depleted Uranium or Radioactive Commodities; Headquarters, Department of the Army, Washington, DC, 27 September 2002)
• TB 9-1300-278 (Supersedes Copy Dated 28 September 1990, Department of the Army Technical Bulletin, Guidelines For Safe Response To Handling, Storage, and Transportation Accidents Involving Army Tank, Munitions or Armor Which Contain Depleted Uranium; Approved for Public Release; Distribution is Unlimited. Headquarters, Department of the Army July 1996)
• Task number: 031-503-1017 (RESPOND TO DEPLETED URANIUM/LOW LEVEL RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS (DULLRAM) HAZARDS; STP 21-1-SMCT: Soldiers Manual of Common Tasks, Headquarters Department of the Army, Washington, D.C.)
• United Nations UNEP DU directive
• Medical care orders:
o June 1991 (3rd U.S. Army Medical Command – CENTCOM)
o June 1993 (issued by the Deputy Secretary of Defense)
o August 1993 (signed by General Eric Shinseki who is now Secretary of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs), which contained the words:
1. Provide adequate training for personnel who may come in contact with depleted uranium equipment.
2. Complete medical testing of personnel exposed to DU contamination during the Persian Gulf War.
Develop a plan for DU contaminated equipment recovery during future operations
o October 1993 (the Somalia DU medical care order issued by the Pentagon)
o May 2003 (signed Assistant Secretary of Defense, Dr. William Winkenwerder)
o April 2004 (signed by LTG Peake)
I would further be obliged if you could let me know why the United States appears to deny that there are significant adverse health and environmental effects from the use of uranium weapons when Colonel J. Edgar Wakayama clearly stated that there are serious adverse health effects and adverse environmental effects in his Pentagon briefing. I attach a copy of the relevant document.
Finally, you will find attached a report from the Army Times website, dated Friday 11 February 2011 and titled “Army told units to trash Gulf War docs”, which includes the words: “Not just the after-action reports have been destroyed or are missing. According to some files, when some veterans come to the Veterans Administration to get help for service-related disabilities, records show they served, but medical records are missing.” This looks like an attempt to prevent veterans seeking compensation and proper medical treatment for the hazards to which they may have been exposed. Furthermore, it is obvious that the destruction of records would make it more difficult to prove any links between exposure to certain substances, including depleted uranium, and ill health. This has relevance to everyone who has potentially been exposed to these substances, be they civilians or service personnel from other countries, including Scotland, and their families. The destruction of US Army records could thus be viewed as an act with serious international repercussions. I would be interested in your comments on this matter.
Many thanks.

End of communication
I myself have considerable experience on the DU issue as well as the use of other WMD and illegal weapons used in such areas as the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza, Somalia and now North Pakistan and Yemen.
I and Lauren Moret (US) are currently compiling a War Crimes Report on these evil weapons, who used them and where, who was responsible for these crimes and what is the effect on the populations of the world. We both have found our investigations very distressing to say the least.
I have over a long period of time been working out how these radioactive nanoparticles move from the fields of conflict and drift over the entire globe.....to work on such a chart takes considerable time as you have to take into account the different levels i.e. Low - Mid - Upper level air flows and jet streams and then select each and every area.
The charts in general gives a general overview of the main wind flows but one has to also take into account the local weather patterns such as the coastal winds, mountain winds, monsoon flows, pressure systems and the normal hot and cold cycles. All in all it was very interesting exercise to work out the many charts I have done and hopefully will show in simple terms how these mini nukes contaminate our atmosphere, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.
One must be mindful of the fact that these weapons are used on a daily basis somewhere and do not recognise international borders, they float around on the wind and create secondary contamination at such times as sand storms etc.
They will, in the main, return to mother earth when it rains or snows and especially during monsoonal flows, which is when the military use them to distribute their contamination in the best possible way. We have already seen the world’s military deposit
We have to remember that this contamination is on going and remains in situ for 4.5 billion years and as I pointed out to you in my last article the following example:
"800 tons of DU is the atomicity equivalent of 83,000 Nagasaki bombs. The U.S. has used more DU since 1991 than the atomicity equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs"
My airflow chart below shows some of the main areas of conflict (marked by stars) and you will see the extent of the problem:
Below is my airflow chart that is applicable during monsoonal flows or cyclones when the airborne nanoparticles come down to earth in mass and contaminate the land and water. You must also note that in regard to the Himalaya’s and areas due east of them, vast amounts of radioactive nanoparticles are dumped to contaminates the main river arteries of China, Southeast Asia and the Far East.
Finally we have a very alarming even that took place during the "Shock and Awa" attack on Baghdad some years ago which gave rise to great concern here in the United Kingdom.
As I have previously pointed out to you that radiation contamination respects no international borders as we found out with Chernobyl and its effect on North Wales for example.
When these "Mini Nukes or WMD's" are used they can for example arrive on our shores within 7-10 days from their far away battlefield (as was the case during "Shock and Awe). The nuclear establishment at Aldermaston in Berkshire, England (not far from London) for example is the home of the UK's nuclear weapons programme....otherwise known as The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), which develops, maintains, and disposes of the UK's nuclear weaponry.
Because of its existence it is required to monitor the atmosphere in the area by way of atmospheric filters to detect levels of radioactivity from its own facility or in this case of DU from some far away battlefield.
Dr Chris Busby, under the "Freedom of Information Act," was able to obtain the report concerning high levels of atmospheric radioactivity that had arrived on our doorstep from Baghdad. The report was a closely guarded secret and was kept under lock and key owing to its startling findings (unknown to the people in the region and beyond.
One has to understand that when such areas are central to a low pressure system the wind and weather vortex pulls the contamination into a tight circle that unfortunately, on this occasion, happened to be centred in the Reading - Berkshire area which is up wind from the City of London.
After considerable effort by Dr Busby and despite the refusal by the owners of the establishment to release the information, Chris obtained the report which shows the follow graph that clearly highlights the spike in contamination........it must be made clear that this is not the only spike that has occurred....in actual fact there are others that just so happen to coincide with major bombing campaigns in the Middle East such as the "Tora Bora" bombing in Afghanistan etc.
The graphs below show the actual peaks that were recorded at AWE Aldermaston.....the additional notations have since been added to explain the possible reason for such hikes in airborne contaminations.
.
Figures 15 and 16: High volume air monitoring data (2001-2003) of fine atmospheric dust and radioactivity, measured depleted uranium levels reaching Britain from Iraq and Afghanistan in 7-9 days. During the 2003 ‘Shock and Awe’ heavy bombing campaign in Iraq, the concentration of depleted uranium particles in the British atmosphere was 45,000 particles per cubic meter. Data is from the British nuclear weapons facility at Aldermaston AWE, Berkshire, in the U.K.
Source: Dr. Chris Busby, Low Level Radiation Expert for the UK Govt. We must all grasp the seriousness of this situation that is on going as we speak. It is our duty of care to protect the world’s environment and the people that live on this planet. We must all endeavor to make sure that all weapons that contain any form of uranium in their components are prohibited permanently from the world's military arsenal. The existing efforts by President Obama is an absolute con and does not reveal the truth behind the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT)...its seeks to remove the out dated large nuclear weapons but encourages the mass production of the smaller nukes that have a dial up category of not more that 5 kiloton. These weapons are not covered under the existing NPT and are currently being developed and produced. Add to this all the weapons that contain DU etc and we can clearly see a major problem developing of gigantic proportions......this basically all amounts to mass depopulation or genocide and will make the holocaust look miniscule by comparison...enough is enough.
Here we see yet another jet jockey about to offload his deadly cargo onto the people of Afghanistan....I wonder if he knows that he himself, his family and fellow vets could also become a victim of their own US arsenal.
My final Part 4 of the current series will focus on DU with a full summary by a staunch activist along with the fact that Tactical Nuclear Weapons have been used in the battlefield. Many people believe that the last time nukes were used was in Japan during WW2.....wrong....they have been used in and around the Middle East.....unfortunately Afghanistan has and is bearing the brunt of these evil weapons.
Finally we will again cover the missing nukes that were lost compliments of the US Government and the three "Battlefield ready bombs" that were purchased illegally and then lost (stolen) by the Thatcher government, with the help of our current Prime Minister who was only a 24 year old researcher at the time.
Believe it or not?...............you bet!
Keep watching this space for the final Part 4

Depleted Uranium - World Genocide (Part 2)
We have talked about the implications in the use of weapons containing uranium components in all areas of conflict. It is a fact that little is said by the mainstream media and so it is basically left to individuals to educate the public at large, whilst at the same time take considerable risk. Those people incidentally are normally attacked by a small group of selective agents who do nothing all day but carry out character assassination on those that oppose such weapons.
We can now look at the very hard work carried out by Scottish Member of Parliament, Dr Bill Wilson who decided to expose the dangers of DU by writing a dossier address to the Minister of Defence, Liam Fox.
Dr Bill Wilson MSP
The contents of his report and the dossier are as per below:
MSP sends dossier on depleted uranium to Defence Secretary: come clean on dirty bombs!

MSP sends dossier on depleted uranium to Defence Secretary: come clean on dirty bombs! Character assassination used to silence DU opponents.
Photo: Major Doug Rokke, a contributor to Dr Wilson's dossier.] Dr Bill Wilson MSP (SNP) has sent the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, a dossier containing what he describes as “significant evidence pointing to the devastating effects of depleted uranium (DU) on the health of armed services personnel and civilians, and of the UK and USA’s attempts to suppress such evidence and prevent the investigation of the effects of DU” and called on the UK Government to take appropriate action.
DU = dirty bombs
Dr Wilson said, “There is much talk about terrorists potentially using ‘dirty bombs’, i.e. weapons which emit radiation and indiscriminately affect anyone in the vicinity, yet the USA, the UK and Israel have deployed many tonnes of DU shells. DU has a half-life of 4.5 billion years and the microscopic uranium oxide dust that DU shells produce on impact can be blown hundreds of miles, inhaled and ingested. If these are not dirty bombs then what are they?
“There is considerable evidence that thousands of armed services personnel, their families and countless civilians have been and are continuing to be affected by DU in many ways, suffering, for example, premature death, respiratory problems, cancers, stillbirths and birth deformities."
Character assassination
“Furthermore, I have seen enough evidence to believe that those who are brave enough to look into the effects of DU risk losing their jobs and worse. Character assassination is one tool in the armoury of those who seek to silence truth-seekers. I have received emails scurrilously attacking the credibility of one my informants. Unfortunately for the defender of DU, I happened already to hold various documents disproving his baseless allegations. It was an eye-opening insight into the ruthlessness of the pro-DU lobby."
Col Roger Helbig (ret) The voice of the US Pentagon.
At this stage I would like to reveal one of the offenders that went on the attack of myself (Peter Eyre) some time ago. This traitor of the United States is Col Roger Helbig (ret) (picture above) who many times tried to carry out a character assassination on me without success. I believe the cat has since died but this scum of the earth lives on. Back to the story by Dr Wilson:
“I have urged Liam Fox to investigate the impact of DU on the health of UK service personnel and civilians. I have also requested him to:
• acknowledge the validity of the precautionary principle as it pertains to the potential health effects of DU;
• comply with UN resolutions pertaining to DU;
• cease to use all DU weapons (for example, CHARM 3 120 mm anti-tank rounds), and to
• clean up the mess left in theatres of war where DU weapons have been used by allied troops (this to include such measures as oiling radioactive dust to prevent it being carried by the wind and barricading heavily contaminated sites such as destroyed tanks, where clean up is not practical and where children are currently free to play).”
Peter Eyre Note:
I would wish to point out that such contamination remains in situ for around 4.5 billion years and basically cannot be cleaned up. It is also a known fact that conventional breather apparatus cannot screen out the nanoparticles from such weapons making a clean up extremely dangerous, which Doug Rokke and his team were soon to find out.
It is also fact that secondary contamination occurs when the contaminated earth/sand is blown around or disturbed by such things as sand storms, helicopter down wash and vehicle movement etc. What I found shocking was the fact that the UN established a project in Gaza (a highly contaminated area) whereby bombed/shelled out buildings would be leveled out by bulldozers, the waste transferred to a crushing plant and then used to resurface the roads and street in Gaza. Some recycled materials were also used to repair such things as kindergartens and schools which basically entombed the children in radioactive environment. The residents of Gaza and many many children continue to play amongst the contaminated rubble which I find very disturbing. All of this in strict violation of the UN’s own protocol.
Back to Dr. Wilson’s Dossier
Dr Wilson concluded by saying, “I am not holding my breath, but it would be wonderful if the coalition government did the right thing here, took the moral high ground and turned its back on dirty bombs, once and for all. In the meantime I am asking the Scottish Government to look into the health of armed services veterans and their families resident here, as I have little faith that the UK Government will do so.”

Dear Mr Fox
The health of service personnel and civilians exposed to depleted uranium
There is considerable evidence for depleted uranium (DU) having a harmful effect on health and serious grounds for believing that the UK Government and the Ministry of Defence have been failing in their duty to look after service personnel and civilians.
I would like to draw your attention to a statement on the MoD website: “Of course, the Government would consider carefully any reliable medical or scientific data that may emerge concerning the incidence of ill health in Iraq.” You will know that the UK Government effectively attempted to impede the investigation of the association between DU and ill health by voting against UN Resolution 65/55 on Depleted Uranium, which called on state users of depleted uranium weapons to reveal where the weapons have been fired when countries affected by them ask for such information.
You will be aware of abundant, and growing, evidence concerning the incidence of ill health in Iraq, which I assume you are investigating. You could start by responding to this peer-reviewed article: Busby, C.; Hamdan, M.; Ariabi, E. Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2010, 7, 2828-2837.
It has been suggested that the Royal Society takes the view that depleted uranium (DU) is safe. The Royal Society itself spoke out voicing concern that its original paper was misinterpreted as implying that this was the case.
I draw your attention to the following (full documents attached):
• Evidence presented by Dr Keith Baverstock, of the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Eastern Finland, to the Belgian Defence Committee on the toxicity of DU ( “Presentation to the Defence Committee of the Belgian House of Representatives: 20 November 2006.”. Note that he emphasises the precautionary principle, a concept apparently unknown to the UK and US Governments and the MoD/DoD, and states, “I think it is clear that the major risk assessments of the health impact of DU have not addressed the genotoxic hazard and it is conspicuously absent from much cited assessments of toxicity such as that by Priest (21). It is also the case, as far as I am aware, that no specific body has been assigned the responsibility to produce the necessary evidence that DU oxide dusts do not pose a hazard to health.
• A BBC article, dated 1 November 2006, quoting Dr Baverstock attacking reports that DU is relatively innocuous (“Depleted uranium risk 'ignored'.
• Evidence presented by Dr Chris Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, rebutting a Home Office article denying the effects of DU.
• Evidence presented by Dr Chris Busby rebutting the Royal Society claim that DU presents little risk.
• Evidence presented by Martin Hooper, emeritus professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Sunderland, also rebutting the Royal Society claim that DU presents little risk.
• The Royal Society itself has stated that “both soldiers and civilians [are] in short and long term danger” (“Scientists urge shell clear-up to protect civilians. Royal Society spells out dangers of depleted uranium”.
• An information card issued to UK service personnel clearly stating that DU “has the potential to cause ill health”.
• Documentation from Major Doug Rokke Ph.D., employed by the US army to devise protocols for dealing with DU safely, citing extensive evidence of the effects of DU and presenting evidence for a deliberate policy of suppression/denial/cover-up on the part of the US and UK governments and the DoD/MoD.
• At least two former UK service personnel have been found, by due legal/medical process, to have suffered as a result of DU exposure, one winning a pension appeal on that basis, and the other being found to have died as a result of exposure to it (“First award for depleted uranium poisoning claim”; and “Press Release : NGVFA (National Gulf Veterans and Families Association) Gulf War Veterans Support Coroners Findings and Concerns”).
• “Successive [UK] governments have resisted calls for a public inquiry into the harmful effects of depleted uranium ammunition to avoid compensation claims, which could potentially cost them hundreds of millions of pounds” (“Fewer than 10 Gulf war troops had uranium poisoning).
• A memorandum, dated 1 March 1991, which is an order, on the part of the US army, to suppress information regarding the health effects of DU.
• An article titled “ITEM OF INTEREST”, which is a “Defense Nuclear Agency Memo” written by Gregory K. Lyle, LTC, USA concerning what “can, must or should be done with the millions of expanded rounds of depleted uranium ordinance” in Iraq. It notes that clean up procedures “were not meant to support shipments of thousands of DU rounds from site restoration.” It goes on to note “As Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD), ground combat units, and the civil populations of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq come increasingly into contact with DU ordnance, we must prepare to deal with the potential problems.” Further, “Alpha particles (uranium oxide dust) from expanded rounds is a health concern but, Beta particles from fragments and intact rounds is a serious health threat, with a possible exposure rate of 200 millirems per hour on contact.” The memo warns that “specific DoD guidance concerning the disposition of DU material in the post combat period/restoration phase is currently lacking.” The writer hoped that “expression of our concerns over the side effects of DU use will help ensure protection for our troops and allies.” This memo is undated – Dr Rokke says he received it around the same time he received the Los Alamos memo in 1991.
• The UK state has previously attempted to deny the effects of radiation on service personnel (“Opinion: battling against the legacy of Britain’s nuclear tests.
• The testimony of Dr Asaf Durakovic, former Chief of Nuclear Medicine at the veterans’ hospital in Wilmington Delaware, would seem to indicate deliberate (and potentially murderous) attempts to suppress information regarding the effects of DU, and the callous exposure of service personnel to it (“The NI Interview. Asaf Durakovic. Felicity Arbuthnot meets a respected scientist fighting on behalf of American Gulf War veterans.” ).
• The UK Atomic Energy Authority sent a report in 1990 to the UK Government estimating that if 50 tonnes of DU were left in the Gulf area should there be a war, this would lead to an estimated 50,000 extra cancer deaths in a decade. In 1999 experts were estimating that there might be 900 tonnes remaining, dispersed by the wind (“Poisoned Legacy. Felicity Arbuthnot investigates the worldwide spread of cancers and deformities since the Gulf War..
• A Vanity Fair article summarising the case against DU as it stood in December 2004
. It refers to the work of Dr Asaf Durakovic and Major Doug Rokke, the apparent attempts to silence/sideline them when their findings proved inconvenient, and the experiences of various US service personnel and factory workers exposed to DU. (“Weapons of Self-Destruction. Is Gulf War syndrome—possibly caused by Pentagon ammunition—taking its toll on G.I.’s in Iraq?
I hope you will not continue to turn a blind eye to the considerable evidence that exists and will not continue to refuse to take adequate measures to investigate the impact of DU on the health of UK service personnel and civilians. I also request you to:
• acknowledge the validity of the precautionary principle as it pertains to the potential health effects of DU;
• comply with UN resolutions pertaining to DU;
• cease to use all DU weapons (for example, CHARM 3 120 mm anti-tank rounds), and to
Clean up the mess left in theatres of war where DU weapons have been used by allied troops (this to include such measures as oiling radioactive dust to prevent it being carried by the wind and barricading heavily contaminated sites such as destroyed tanks, where clean-up is not practical and where children are currently free to play).
I thank you, in anticipation, for acting to protect the health, both of UK service personnel and civilians in Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia and Afghanistan.

Dr Bill Wilson MSP
Footnote Peter Eyre:
To summarize there is much more evidence available over and above Dr Wilson’s report covering a vast array of other weapons that contain uranium components including Cruise Missiles, Bunker Buster Bombs and the fact the genuine nuclear bombs were also probably used in Iraq and Afghanistan. The spin of from all of these weapons is the fact that they are pumping into the atmosphere massive contamination. For example 800 tons of DU is the atomicity equivalent of 83,000 Nagasaki bombs. The U.S. has used more DU since 1991 than the atomicity equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs

You could start by responding to this peer-reviewed article: Busby, C.; Hamdan, M.; Ariabi, E. Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2010, 7, 2828-2837.
It has been suggested that the Royal Society takes the view that depleted uranium (DU) is safe. The Royal Society itself spoke out voicing concern that its original paper was misinterpreted as implying that this was the case.
I draw your attention to the following (full documents attached):
• Evidence presented by Dr Keith Baverstock, of the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Eastern Finland, to the Belgian Defence Committee on the toxicity of DU ( “Presentation to the Defence Committee of the Belgian House of Representatives: 20 November 2006.”. Note that he emphasises the precautionary principle, a concept apparently unknown to the UK and US Governments and the MoD/DoD, and states, “I think it is clear that the major risk assessments of the health impact of DU have not addressed the genotoxic hazard and it is conspicuously absent from much cited assessments of toxicity such as that by Priest (21). It is also the case, as far as I am aware, that no specific body has been assigned the responsibility to produce the necessary evidence that DU oxide dusts do not pose a hazard to health.
• A BBC article, dated 1 November 2006, quoting Dr Baverstock attacking reports that DU is relatively innocuous (“Depleted uranium risk 'ignored'.
• Evidence presented by Dr Chris Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, rebutting a Home Office article denying the effects of DU.
• Evidence presented by Dr Chris Busby rebutting the Royal Society claim that DU presents little risk.
• Evidence presented by Martin Hooper, emeritus professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Sunderland, also rebutting the Royal Society claim that DU presents little risk.
• The Royal Society itself has stated that “both soldiers and civilians [are] in short and long term danger” (“Scientists urge shell clear-up to protect civilians. Royal Society spells out dangers of depleted uranium”.
• An information card issued to UK service personnel clearly stating that DU “has the potential to cause ill health”.
• Documentation from Major Doug Rokke Ph.D., employed by the US army to devise protocols for dealing with DU safely, citing extensive evidence of the effects of DU and presenting evidence for a deliberate policy of suppression/denial/cover-up on the part of the US and UK governments and the DoD/MoD.
• At least two former UK service personnel have been found, by due legal/medical process, to have suffered as a result of DU exposure, one winning a pension appeal on that basis, and the other being found to have died as a result of exposure to it (“First award for depleted uranium poisoning claim”; and “Press Release : NGVFA (National Gulf Veterans and Families Association) Gulf War Veterans Support Coroners Findings and Concerns”).
• “Successive [UK] governments have resisted calls for a public inquiry into the harmful effects of depleted uranium ammunition to avoid compensation claims, which could potentially cost them hundreds of millions of pounds” (“Fewer than 10 Gulf war troops had uranium poisoning).
• A memorandum, dated 1 March 1991, which is an order, on the part of the US army, to suppress information regarding the health effects of DU.
• An article titled “ITEM OF INTEREST”, which is a “Defense Nuclear Agency Memo” written by Gregory K. Lyle, LTC, USA concerning what “can, must or should be done with the millions of expanded rounds of depleted uranium ordinance” in Iraq. It notes that clean up procedures “were not meant to support shipments of thousands of DU rounds from site restoration.” It goes on to note “As Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD), ground combat units, and the civil populations of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq come increasingly into contact with DU ordnance, we must prepare to deal with the potential problems.” Further, “Alpha particles (uranium oxide dust) from expanded rounds is a health concern but, Beta particles from fragments and intact rounds is a serious health threat, with a possible exposure rate of 200 millirems per hour on contact.” The memo warns that “specific DoD guidance concerning the disposition of DU material in the post combat period/restoration phase is currently lacking.” The writer hoped that “expression of our concerns over the side effects of DU use will help ensure protection for our troops and allies.” This memo is undated – Dr Rokke says he received it around the same time he received the Los Alamos memo in 1991.
• The UK state has previously attempted to deny the effects of radiation on service personnel (“Opinion: battling against the legacy of Britain’s nuclear tests.
• The testimony of Dr Asaf Durakovic, former Chief of Nuclear Medicine at the veterans’ hospital in Wilmington Delaware, would seem to indicate deliberate (and potentially murderous) attempts to suppress information regarding the effects of DU, and the callous exposure of service personnel to it (“The NI Interview. Asaf Durakovic. Felicity Arbuthnot meets a respected scientist fighting on behalf of American Gulf War veterans.” ).
• The UK Atomic Energy Authority sent a report in 1990 to the UK Government estimating that if 50 tonnes of DU were left in the Gulf area should there be a war, this would lead to an estimated 50,000 extra cancer deaths in a decade. In 1999 experts were estimating that there might be 900 tonnes remaining, dispersed by the wind (“Poisoned Legacy. Felicity Arbuthnot investigates the worldwide spread of cancers and deformities since the Gulf War..
• A Vanity Fair article summarising the case against DU as it stood in December 2004
. It refers to the work of Dr Asaf Durakovic and Major Doug Rokke, the apparent attempts to silence/sideline them when their findings proved inconvenient, and the experiences of various US service personnel and factory workers exposed to DU. (“Weapons of Self-Destruction. Is Gulf War syndrome—possibly caused by Pentagon ammunition—taking its toll on G.I.’s in Iraq?
I hope you will not continue to turn a blind eye to the considerable evidence that exists and will not continue to refuse to take adequate measures to investigate the impact of DU on the health of UK service personnel and civilians. I also request you to:
• acknowledge the validity of the precautionary principle as it pertains to the potential health effects of DU;
• comply with UN resolutions pertaining to DU;
• cease to use all DU weapons (for example, CHARM 3 120 mm anti-tank rounds), and to
Clean up the mess left in theatres of war where DU weapons have been used by allied troops (this to include such measures as oiling radioactive dust to prevent it being carried by the wind and barricading heavily contaminated sites such as destroyed tanks, where clean-up is not practical and where children are currently free to play).
I thank you, in anticipation, for acting to protect the health, both of UK service personnel and civilians in Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia and Afghanistan.

Dr Bill Wilson MSP
Footnote Peter Eyre:
To summarize there is much more evidence available over and above Dr Wilson’s report covering a vast array of other weapons that contain uranium components including Cruise Missiles, Bunker Buster Bombs and the fact the genuine nuclear bombs were also probably used in Iraq and Afghanistan. The spin of from all of these weapons is the fact that they are pumping into the atmosphere massive contamination. For example 800 tons of DU is the atomicity equivalent of 83,000 Nagasaki bombs. The U.S. has used more DU since 1991 than the atomicity equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs

Depleted Uranium - World Genocide (Part 1)
Over a very long period of time I have written about many evil things in this world but nothing touches the constant use by the US, UK and NATO forces of weapons that contain uranium components.
As you all know I have been working on a War Crimes Complaint in conjunction with Leuren Moret in the US. This very revealing report shows beyond a shadow of doubt the dangers associated with weapons used in the battlefield and its effect on those subjected to these genocidal weapons both on and off the battlefield and the world beyond...
The report is almost complete and will soon be available for release....it has been written at a very high academic level and highlights the usage of such weapons throughout the Balkans War, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Pakistan, Lebanon, Gaza, Somalia and now Yemen.
What most people fail to understand is that these weapons were first introduced by the US in the Yom Kippur war October 6 – October 25, 1973 (Arab - Israeli war) when the use not only supplied Israel with these WMD's but also sent over technical staff to train them in situ. Add to this that these were also used in both Lebanon (2006) and Gaza 2008/9 with devastating results and an ongoing surge in radiation type medical cases and baby deformities etc.
What was ironic that in both cases the Israeli's (IDF) nuked themselves....this is because the nanoparticles from Depleted Uranium weapons etc do not identify international borders and thus contaminated not only Israel but also Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and the region.
It shows evidence that the US, UK and EU Governments (NATO) have intentionally used Weapons of Mass Destruction in all theaters of war to contaminate the entire region, their own troops and the world beyond.
This complaint will be a scoop in its own right and will be made available to the mainline media once complete and will also be sent to all relevant Governments and institutions etc.
The story below is a clear indication as to the magnitude of this issue and at last will be made available not only to those guilty of such crimes but also the world.
It is my intention to file this complaint on behalf of the people of Iraq and all countries that have been subjected to this mass genocide. It will be filed against ex British PM Tony Blair and the British Government and for Leuren Moret to file against Ex US President George W Bush and the US Government. Obviously one would not expect this complaint to reach the International Court of Justice or to have any significant impact at the United Nations as most of these institutions are part of the so called "New World Order."
From my perspective all we can do is attempt to educate the world in general and hope that common sense will prevail and people will eventually apply pressure to their governments to prohibit all weapons that contains uranium components in any form.
I intend to circulate the War Crimes Report to as many governments and their citizens as possible and let the world be the jury.
Over the last few weeks we have seen some activity emerge from Scotland that at last has reached the media on the issue of Depleted Uranium.
A Scottish Member of Parliament (SMP) Dr, Bill Wilson has sent a dossier to the British Minister for Defence, Liam Fox on the issue.
It is also interesting to note that many of those (including myself), who reveal the dangers of these evil weapons, are intimidated or succumb to “character assassination.”
Dr Wilson has also sent a communication to US Ambassador to the UK in London, Louis B. Susman, regarding this matter and also asking what the US Government is doing to ensure compliance with various US and international regulations, directives, bulletins and medical orders pertaining to DU, and drawn his attention to reports of a US Army order to destroy military records.
This major breakthrough is at last showing that people power can truly make a difference and compliments the Islamic uprising in Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen etc to show that we have all had enough of the US led aggressive foreign policy.
We have seen a strong "Iron Fist" policy that fits into the category of "Geo Politics with three clear intentions:
1. To take control of the worlds natural resources i.e. oil, gas and minerals etc.
2. To take control of the markets for those resources.
3. To take control of the trade routes and corridors for those resources.
We continue to see the US, UK and other NATO countries maintain their military presence in all those countries where 1, 2 and 3 above apply.
We see the daily use of such weapons (that can only be described as mini WMD's) in all areas of conflict that continue to breach the Geneva Convention in so many ways.
As I have said so many times before....war is good for the US economy, which is where most of these illegal weapons are manufactured. It also so happens to be the most lucrative industry in the world and at the same times enhances the price of oil to rise.... which is also good for the major oil companies and their associates who in the main are mainly US based.
I have thanked Dr Wilson) MSP) for his efforts and sent him the following email:

Good Morning
First of all congratulations on being one of the first MSP/MP's to take up the Depleted Uranium issue with the Central Government.
I myself have already filed a War Crimes Complaint regarding this very issue and my associate in the US has done the same.
We have substantial information on Depleted Uranium and its use on the battlefields in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Pakistan, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen and Somalia to name but a few.
The contamination from such weapons does not stay within the area of conflict, but rather drifts on the wind to ever corner of the globe. It is killing million over a period of time in both the areas of conflict and also all other downwind countries.
One could extend this to the fact that when the US attacked Baghdad during "Shock and Awe" the contamination arrived on the shores of the UK within 10 days with alarming levels of radiation in the atmosphere.
I and my associate are currently working on a more in depth report which will be sent to the War Crimes Commission and at the same time do an international press release.
Kind regards
Peter Eyre - Middle East Consultant
In Part 2 of the current series you we will see the articles that Dr Bill Wilson has written and the truth behind such weapons and how the contamination drifts around the world.
I will also give readers an insight as to how the US and the UK managed to deal in the purchase and loss of illegal nuclear weapons with South Africa (assisted by Israel) all under the UN radar and with the illegal use of "British Tax Payers Money" which ended up in the Conservative Party Election Fund compliments of Maggie Thatcher, Sir Kenneth Warren, our current PM David Cameron and many other senior MP's etc
