The Wanderer is one of the oldest Catholic newspapers in America (subscribe here). This week, it features an article by Paul Likoudis that addresses a very interesting question: How can a “pro-life” president who champions the rights of the unborn ignore the impact of depleted uranium on thousands of Iraqi unborn children?
Excerpt:
“They are newborn Iraqi babies, born without heads and limbs, sometimes they are blood red, sometimes black, sometimes covered in an unknown white film, sometimes with gaping holes in their torsos that expose their internal organs.
“They are, say doctors in Iraq and international experts from Europe, Japan, and the United States, the result of the United States’ heavy use of weapons made of depleted uranium in Gulf War I and Operation Iraqi Freedom, which have left densely populated parts of Iraq a radioactive toxic wasteland, where adult cancer and childhood leukemia rates are soaring.”
