>DU is used in warheads >> DU releases radiation >>> radiation causes cancer. Therefore, you could link the bombs that use DU to cancer.

All that is true and totally irrelevant, since DU is used almost exclusively in anti-armor kinetic rounds. This is just a really big firecracker.

>In this case, maybe they didn't have DU, but there are still other nasty contaminants that come with 22,000 pounds of explosives dropped in a relatively small area...

Are there? Do you have some reason to think that's true?

Read the article linked to in my earlier comment.

What does it have to do with the subject article? Again, there's no DU in this bomb.
