    Incalculable Pain by Mark Benjamin (Dec. 10, 2005)

    Incalculable Pain by Mark Benjamin (Dec. 10, 2005) brings to mind another pertinent question. How many of our soldiers have fallen victim to the Pentagon's policy of using artillery, tank shells and other ordnance made from depleted uranium? Being a soldier is dangerous even in peacetime, but being poisoned by your own government's policies raises the dangers of serving in Iraq to a surreal level of absurdity!
