<strong>The</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Lie</strong>” 9/<strong>11</strong> <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Government</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Complicity</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Mass</strong> <strong>Murder</strong><br />

Consider this, one of the most commonly described scenarios for another<br />

terrorists attack is to set off a “dirty bomb” device, def<strong>in</strong>ed as a weapon that<br />

explodes <strong>and</strong> disperses radioactive debris. It is considered WMD. Such an attack<br />

it would immediately cause FEMA <strong>and</strong> other agencies to respond with<br />

decontam<strong>in</strong>ation units <strong>and</strong> the victims would be at a higher risk for develop<strong>in</strong>g<br />

cancer related diseases, <strong>and</strong> would likely lead to an application of a localized<br />

martial law. Is there really any mean<strong>in</strong>gful difference between the situations?<br />

Protective cloth<strong>in</strong>g or gear capable of protect<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st depleted uranium<br />

exposure is not the norm <strong>in</strong> Iraq, there is a shortage of body armor, let alone<br />

resources <strong>and</strong> gear for DU clean-up for all of our soldiers deployed <strong>in</strong> those hot<br />

zones. MOPPS suits, the chemical warfare protection suit is limited to short term<br />

effectiveness after open<strong>in</strong>g, mak<strong>in</strong>g it unwieldy <strong>in</strong> regular operations, <strong>and</strong> do not<br />

protect long term. <strong>The</strong> U.S. <strong>and</strong> coalition troops have also not been properly<br />

warned or tra<strong>in</strong>ed to deal with depleted uranium exposure, <strong>and</strong> the effects of DU<br />

have been m<strong>in</strong>imized <strong>in</strong> what <strong>in</strong>struction <strong>and</strong> tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g that has been given. 134<br />

In Operations Endur<strong>in</strong>g Freedom Operation<br />

Iraqi Freedom, depleted uranium munitions<br />

were used directly <strong>in</strong> the Afghani <strong>and</strong> Iraqi<br />

cities, amidst civilian populations, <strong>and</strong><br />

eventually, U.S. troops occupied Saddam’s<br />

palace’s <strong>and</strong> slept <strong>in</strong> the same areas they had<br />

just previously bombed. 135 Military vehicles<br />

Depleted uranium “shock <strong>and</strong> awe” <strong>in</strong><br />

downtown Baghdad return<strong>in</strong>g from Iraq to the U.S. are subjected to<br />

a thorough decontam<strong>in</strong>ation process, <strong>and</strong> higher rank<strong>in</strong>g officers are rotated out<br />

of Iraq on a more frequent basis than the average soldier. Furthermore, Iraq is a<br />

very arid country <strong>and</strong> suffers from lengthy <strong>and</strong> wide rang<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>and</strong>storms which<br />

serve to circulate the depleted uranium debris from the battlefields from the first<br />

Gulf War to the present, <strong>and</strong> from the “hot zones” to the cities <strong>and</strong> bases. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />

no escape from it. Currently, the U.S. is field<strong>in</strong>g troops for second <strong>and</strong> third tours<br />

of duty <strong>in</strong> these radioactive zones. I wonder why high rank<strong>in</strong>g officials <strong>and</strong><br />

generals are rotated out more frequently of the Iraqi theater than the front-l<strong>in</strong>e
