DU from downunder

Professor Bunyip has a great post on Iraq's Dr. Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash and her past role as the western media's favorite spokesperson on the alleged environmental hazard posed by use of depleted uranium (DU) munitions.   Dr. Ammash, you may recall, is the woman sitting at the table in Saddam Hussein's most recent appearence on Iraqi tv.   The talented Dr. Ammash is also credited with having reinvigorated Iraq's bioweapons program.   Dr. Ammash earned her Ph.D. at the University of Missouri and has a day job as a professor at Baghdad University.
