'A World Health Organization medical team visited Basra and proposed a study to see why the city was so sick. But Saddam Hussein refused.
"Unless that study is done, it is going to be very difficult to try to understand what is behind the large number of people being ill," Dr. Kilpatrick said.
He noted that no tank battles occurred in Basra or other population centers during the Persian Gulf War. Depleted uranium, he said, is too heavy to have blown into the city.
A half dozen major studies, done by government and non-government agencies in the United States and Europe, have failed to support health concerns about depleted uranium.'
