War Crimes in Gaza: Comment in reference to accusations of depleted uranium use

The following comment didn't make it into the introduction to Conn Hallinan's "Dispatches from The Edge - Gaza: Death's Laboratory."

We would like to point out that while the article mentions accusations regarding use of depleted uranium (DU) in Gaza, it doesn't provide any corroborating evidence.

This isn't to say that DU wasn't employed in Gaza. It's just that we feel that mentioning such a serious accusation without offering substantiation is a questionable practice.
