The effects of depleted uranium ammunition

I first found this on "Eschaton", which ran an entry on the video linked from "Mandate, My Ass". It's called "Poisonous Legacy", and it gives a graphic portrait of the effects of using depleted uranium as ammunition (which the United States does in many weapons, including armor piercing guns on tanks and anti-missile systems on ships).

WARNING: The video "Poisonous Legacy" linked above is very graphic and has disturbing images. It's validity has also been called into question (see the discussion on "Mandate, My Ass"). However, working in a nuclear industry myself, I can say that quite often things that were initially considered low risk have, after long term study, been found to have effects that were never anticipated nor discovered in relatively short term tests or observations. Could well be the issue here; time will tell. Much of what we know in the nuclear industry about radiation exposure to humans we got not by studying the effects on lab animals, but from the actual exposure to humans in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, and our own accidental (and purposeful) exposure to nuclear workers.
