LOL. The IAEA saying DU isn't harmful is like the tobacco companies saying cigarettes aren't addictive. Of course alpha particles can be stopped by a single sheet of paper, but that article doesn't mention that INHALED DU emitting alpha particles are not only highly toxic, but in fact do transmit enough radiation to you continuously to cause real harm. And of course, I love the official-sounding statement at the end... "None of the background radiation they measured comes from DU" ... how do they know?
Now here's a video worth calling propaganda. Watch at your own risk:

Time is an illusion, but a handy one. Without it, we would not be able to hear sounds, and without that ability, we would have no music.
