but Professor Doug Rokke, the former US Army health phycicist who served in Iraq, gave talks on this in Seattle for a long time.

Now it's nearly impossible to find anything with his name except people saying DU wasn't bad. He gave detailed talks and said it was in his bone marrow. He is mentioned in Wikipedia under the entry for the movie, Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq..

He may be dead and claimed the death toll and disability from Iraq was much higher than has been revealed. It was in a story in the Seattle Post - Intelligencer written by Larry Johnson, 'Iraqi Cancers, Birth Defects Blamed on US Depleted Uranium.'
