I never said anything about bans or the UK government.

DU is a radioactive material. When ingested, as a poster below has pointed out, it's extraordinarily dangerous, and that's a scientific FACT. By vaporizing amounts of DU as we have done (when munitions explode), we are guaranteeing that DU particles are going to enter the bodies of our troops and those of Iraqis.

And like that other poster said, the US government is saying the same kind of things about DU now that it did about Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. No, that doesn't prove anything about DU directly, but it reminds us to always consider the source.
