Atomic,Biological,Chemical "Test Vets" lose court case

Washington-Radiation exposure took Alice Broudy's husband a generation ago.This Week, a court ruling sliced away her bid for redress.

This ruling will effect Iraq vets exposed to depleted uranium (DU)

from the story

"An estimated 220,000 U.S. military personnel were allegedly exposed to radiation in the 1940s and 1950s. Some, such as William Yurdyga of Sacramento, Calif., claimed in an earlier lawsuit that they were exposed after the Hiroshima or Nagasaki atomic blasts. Others claimed exposure during Cold War testing.

The three-member appellate panel wasn't ruling on whether the atomic veterans deserve compensation. A 1988 law provides that. To succeed, though, veterans must prove that they were present at a radioactive site and that they contracted a radiation-related illness or were exposed to a cancer-causing radiation level.

Required military test records can be elusive. A 1973 fire destroyed many veterans' records, and veterans consider alternative "dose reconstruction" estimates inaccurate.

The latest lawsuit sought to force Pentagon officials to release all relevant records."





It took our lying government until 1994 to admit that Depleted Uranium was used in GWI and that is only because the documents were discovered using the FOIA by a perservering Gulf War I vet. (yeah Rummy, some vets don't quit) Many health records of those Vets are missing or incomplete.

How dare our government treat our Vets this way.

Tons and information on what our government has been doing to us ALL!

Backing the people who just don't give a dam. This court ruling can now have the Agent Orange cases reopened and denied.
