On Friday, Nov. 13, the London Guardian reported a “Huge rise in birth defects in Fallujah,” Iraq. I sent the news to KPFA Radio 94.1FM Weekend News anchor Anthony Fest, along with contact info for Bob Nichols, San Francisco Bay View newspaper correspondent and winner of a 2004 Project Censored Award for his reporting on the U.S. military’s use of depleted uranium weapons in Iraq and consequent radiation poisoning. I then edited and animated the resulting Nov. 15 KPFA Weekend News segment (below).
“Remember the old saying, ‘There are no coincidences’? That is certainly true with the DNA-busting weaponized uranium gas used by the most well planned, lethal force on the planet, the U.S. Army. The huge rise – at least 15 times and more all the time – in birth defects is exactly what the American political and military leaders ordered. These monsters are all war criminals and must be tried for their war crimes,” declared Nichols.
