Regarding Iraq and Busby... Was that the report, titled "Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009"

The one that interviewed 4843 people, reporting 16 cases of childhood cancer?

The report that concluded: "Finally, the results reported here do not throw any light upon the identity of the agent(s) causing the increased levels of illness and although we have drawn attention to the use of depleted uranium as one potential relevant exposure, there may be other possibilities and we see the current study as investigating the anecdotal evidence of increases in cancer and infant mortality in Fallujah."

Or a different one?

<Back to the drawing board>

Not at all, Arjay. The rise in birth defects in Fallujah is alleged to have occurred after the 2004 battle, but the Americans did not use depleted Uranium munitions during this battle. So if radio-isotopes are the cause, where did they come from? On possibility is that the Fallujah militia had a quantity of enriched Uranium. As the battle progressed they became fearful that the Americans would seize the Uranium and use it as justification for the invasion of Iraq. So they blew the Uranium up with enough explosives to completely vaporise it, thus exposing the population to dangerous radiation.

My view of Busby is of a slick con artist enriching himself with scaremongering and conspiracy theories. Nonetheless, if radiation is found to be the cause, it would support my theory.

Fester, you are an agent of dis-information and have no desire to address the reality or the truth.

Not at all, Arjay. What I am trying to show you is the importance of having strong evidence to back your claims. Note that I dont claim that my scenario is what happened, merely that it fits the facts as presented. As with any disaster, what is needed at Fallujah is a thorough investigation. With a large body of evidence you can start to narrow down the possibilities by eliminating scenarios which do not fit the evidence.

Contrast the scientific approach with the political approach, whereby you choose your outcome then sort through the available evidence, select information which supports your position and ignore all else.

Ajay....while there taking all the risks which has all the attributes of a Hollywood movie, the thinkings behind the plan is failed 360 in all future plans which logic dictates, and everyone is thinking on the cheap.(but at what cost?)
Unclear power has all the evidences of a horror picture yet to unfold.

1...if nature unleashes its power with-in our time set continuum (and its happened in earths past before) all the reactors that are now present in the world will be a ticking time bomb for all living life on this planet, and gamble with this, you will.

This planet is unstable!....and you can see it just as well as I can.

But of what of the share holders?

lol...when sh!t hits the fan, money will be the last thing you will be thinking of:)

in Manazuru town, Kanagawa prefecture, some 300 km away from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, has raised public clamour for compensation.

Soon after the discovery, on Apr. 5, Kanagawa authorities directed farmers and organisations dealing with agricultural produce not to ship shiitake mushrooms, a delicacy prized for its nutritive and medicinal properties in East Asian countries.

Some of the Manazuru mushroom samples were found to have over 141 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kg, while samples taken from Murata, Miyagi Prefecture, showed cesium levels as high as 350 becquerels. This provides a clear idea of radioactive cesium but what are all the body absorbing elements from a much bigger ban
