Dear Trudy: & here's one other... Peace/Mark M. http://americanfuture.typepad.com/american_future/2004/11/aljazeera_says_.html 11/29/2004 Al-Jazeera Says US Using Napalm in Fallujah From an article posted yesterday: The U.S. military is secretly using banned napalm gas and other outlawed weapons against civilians in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, eyewitnesses reported. Residents in Fallujah reported that innocent civilians have been killed by napalm attacks, a poisonous cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel which makes the human body melt. Since the U.S. offensive started in Fallujah earlier this month, there have been reports of “melted” bodies which proves that the napalm gas had been used. I did a Google search on "napalm" to see if this was being reported elsewhere. It is, but only on left-wing websites; even the Guardian hasn't reported on it. So, for now, it's just an inflammatory rumor from an inflammatory source. Let's hope it stays that way. If it spreads, there's going to be more US-bashing.
