WMD - ILLEGAL

"Professor Doug Rokke, ex-director of the Pentagon's depleted uranium project -- a former professor of environmental science at Jacksonville University and onetime US army colonel who was tasked by the US department of defence with the post-first Gulf war depleted uranium desert clean-up -- said use of DU was a 'war crime'.

Rokke said: 'There is a moral point to be made here. This war was about Iraq possessing illegal weapons of mass destruction -- yet we are using weapons of mass destruction ourselves.' He added: 'Such double-standards are repellent.' "

A point of note, this was a pre-war sentiment. However, the current war-cry is now 'liberating' the Iraqi people. If it's found the Iraqi people don't actually want to be 'liberated', they'll have to dream up another excuse won't they????
