Iraq veterans should be tested for radiation poisoning

Use blood tests to check Iraq war vets for radiation poisoning  cleveland.com By Anthony Weishar February 11, 2010, How long will the media continue to censor reports on radiation and toxins in Iraq? The Radiation and Protection Center in Iraq released a report on Jan. 23 identifying 42 severely contaminated sites and cities.

Many Iraq war veterans have radioactivity in their systems. The Department of Veterans Affairs refuses to use blood tests to check for radiation poisoning. The urine tests work only within 30 days of exposure — about the time soldiers sit in a safe site waiting to go home. The Radiation Center in Baghdad uses blood tests to determine exposure levels in Iraqis.

When are the Pentagon, the president and Congress going to take care of those who served?
