James, since you mentioned the DU weapons being used on the island, and that you oppose them but wouldn't have enough time to do much about it, I'm wondering if you'd have time to introduce a resolution to request the gov't to quit using DU weapons on the island.
The resolution could state the two reasons:
1) use of DU weapons here pollutes the island with deadly radioactive particles, and
2) use of DU weapons, after training here, is a crime against humanity, due to its effects on innocent civilian populations.
Whether or not the gov't complies, wouldn't the resolution be the right thing to do and set a good example for people everywhere?
