9 March Some News - and some "Old News" - that you may not have seen

I was commenting at Ten Percent and the War on Drugs came up - so I added resource material in Del.icio.us. BTW When my Del.icio.us Bookmarks file was started, I had no idea about opening it up to others. Tags came after it was well in progress. You can find others' files there too ! I keep new posts in Furl, Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon as windows in Pageflakes Reading page.

Depleted Uranium posts have come up simply because it is an almost unreported problem that seems to be one of those things people heartily wish would go away. Militarily, a 'sabot round' is a tank-killer : a DU slug will penetrate armour that will deflect conventional rounds. 'Necessity' is a hard argument to deflect also. GlobalResearch.ca is the 'go to' site on this subject - with an informational section.
