I am an award-winning investigative reporter and founder of the Ruminations on America Project (www.ruminationsonamerica.blogspot.com), where an investigative article I wrote on Depleted Uranium is now posted (http://ruminationsonamerica.blogspot.com/2005/11/depleted-uranium-new-agent-orange.html). The piece tells the story of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" veteran Herbert Reed and his entire unit, currently suing the US Government for, they believe, knowingly exposing them to DU.
I thought you might be interested.
All the best,
