The Progressives' Handbook

The continued military use of depleted uranium (DU) is one of the biggest scandals of our time, yet mainstream media has ignored it. If you'd like to inform yourself about DU, and other radioactive weaponry, head over to the Traprock Peace Center site (www.traprockpeace.org). Its Depleted Uranium Resources page has a cornucopia of articles, audio and action tips. For example, you can:

• read texts of pending DU legislation in various states

• learn about the experiences of troops and civilians exposed to DU

• listen to excerpts from the World Uranium Weapons Conference

• get an award-winning film on DU

Also check out Better World Links, which provides extensive DU coverage (www.betterworldlinks.org) in its Military section. Another site worth visiting is the UK's Campaign against Depleted Uranium (www.cadu.org.uk); its Resources page is filled with books, posters, information action packs and a whole lot more. Here's an excerpt from the CADU links page:

• International Depleted Uranium Study Team (www.idust.net)

• Low Level Radiation Campaign (www.llrc.org)
