Congressman Joins Fight To Help Soldiers Contaminated With Radiation In Iraq
NY1
Some veterans of the war in Iraq fear their exposure to radiation has endangered their health, and the health of their children. It's a story NY1’s Dean Meminger has reported on before, and he filed an update Monday.
Eleven-month-old Victoria Claudette Matthew is a beautiful sight in pink. But if you look closely you'll see she has a serious problem. Victoria was born with only half of her right hand, which has two fingers fused together.

Welcome to CADU
The Campaign Against Depleted Uranium (CADU) was launched in 1999 to focus specifically on trying to achieve a global ban on the manufacture, testing, and use of depleted uranium weapons.
We also have a strong interest in identifying the extent of its civilian use and achieving as much limitation of this as possible.

Glass Salesmen Take Home Uneasy Profits in Shattered Baghdad
By Jonathan Finer and Bassam Sebti / Washington Post
BAGHDAD -- At midday, the stores and sidewalks of Sadoun Street, Baghdad's once-bustling commercial center, were nearly deserted.
A pharmacy's double doors were held closed by a rusty chain. The manager of a family restaurant had no patrons to feed. And a dealer in Swiss watches mused about moving to a city where wealthy customers would not be afraid to shop downtown.

THEY HAVE COURTS IN IRAQ. That was an execution. Executions are illegal under international law. They had the man where they wanted him, why did they kill him?
Unarmed Iraqi Cooperated, Soldier Testifies
Squad Leader Apparently Shot Man in Retaliation for Attack That Killed Captain
Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Tex., May 25 -- An unarmed Iraqi cooperated with American troops searching his house and said "USA good" minutes before he was shot to death, a former U.S. soldier testified Wednesday at his onetime squad leader's murder trial.
Jason Pizer testified that the Iraqi was alive with Army Staff Sgt. Shane Werst when Pizer went to a translator to check the Iraqi's identification against a list of suspected insurgents.
Pizer said he radioed back to Werst to confirm the man was on the list. He said he then heard Werst say, "Expecting contact," and then the sound of gunfire. Pizer said he returned to the house and found Naser Ismail's body on the floor.
