Friday, June 8, 2007 military missions: Uranium, 45 deaths and 500 patients
Carla Ronga, 22 March 2007 the Party committee of inquiry and the chairwoman Lidia Menapace introduced to the press that the guidelines are followed. Tragic figures on the theaters of war veterans thyroid surgery About 70 percent of the Italian soldiers returning from missions abroad have been made to the thyroid following the alleged contamination by depleted uranium. Operations would be carried out in a hospital in Siena and other facilities affiliated with the army. A report this data, disturbing and tragic, a young soldier returning from the theater of war in the Balkans and for some time under medical supervision. His testimony was given to Domenico Leggiero, the Main Military, an organization that assists members of the armed forces and their families. "There are three cases of military patients under study and one of them has candidly confessed that a large part of the military returning from theaters of war is subjected to thyroid surgery. We are not able to confirm the figure of 70 percent, "said Leggiero," but we expect that something moves in parliament to clarify the issue. Even if it were only half, because it is a huge however, and you must have access to this information. "And this is the objective of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into depleted uranium Senate, whose president, Lidia Menapace (PRC) set to release the guidelines to be followed. One of the first tasks of the Commission will involve the collection and analysis of statistical data, for which the Commission intends "to Istat, the Institute of Health, the Directorate General of Military Health, in order to acquire information and assessments of objective type and official. "Moreover," taking into account the rightful demands of cost containment "will be" privileged "experts and government officials with "mandates on time and theme." Enough with the word "cart" of expertise. The existence of a link between the deaths and illnesses of veterans of foreign missions, and exposure to depleted uranium is a fact ascertained, although it continues to be the subject of strong controversy and investigations. Mandelli The Committee, in three successive reports, concluded that compared to the statistically expected number of victims in the group reference (the soldiers who took part in several operations in the zone "indicted") are four times higher, but has not been able to link directly the presence of uranium in cases of cancer recorded. And a subsequent commission of inquiry argued that the data were probably wrong Mandelli and understated. "During the work of the Commission last year, we asked several times the data (the military insurance) - pointed out the military head of the Observatory, Domenico Leggiero Marshal (he was there in Bosnia five times) - in a year Defense there has never responded. "To date, therefore, there is no certainty about the exact number of victims, according to the Observatory the dead would be 45 to 515 patients suffering from illnesses related to exposure to depleted uranium, used in large numbers especially in the arms of NATO in the Balkans. Other associations have different data, as well as different ones are provided by the Defence. The pacifist senator of the PRC said that "this is the life of young people and, therefore, is first of all a debt of ethics: no one deals with anybody. You can not put in the foreground, the sacrifice of some, and ashamed of other "." The existence of abnormal conditions within the military contingent of employees in the missions abroad, close to the firing ranges and munitions storage sites has been detected with certainty - said Lydia Menapace - diseases are not directly attributable to the direct use of depleted uranium shells, but rather, the possible effects of nanoparticles of heavy minerals as a result of explosions that disperse into the environment. "At the press conference he attended, in addition to Senator Franca Rame (Italy of Values) also Accame Falco, president of An-Vafaf, an association that supports the families of deceased soldiers: "They say that Lebanon has not been used depleted uranium - told - we were told that make an examination of the sound, but we know that, as it was in Bosnia, will explore very little. "The Commission will take for granted the results obtained in past legislation, the same Committee chaired by Senator Paul Franks about the epidemiological data on deceased victims or seriously ill for exposure to depleted uranium. But there is something new: "Investigations of the new Commission will be extended - Menapace said the President - as well as military personnel concerned, even the civilian population in places of war and in areas adjacent to military bases in Italy." But the position taken on the advice "on time and theme" not gone "smooth". To dislike, Senator An Marcello De Angelis, secretary of the committee after the meeting with journalists, said: "It's about time we begin work, we lost time and part of knowledge that we could have. In this area - insists - time is running out. Also for this reason we asked the consultants to confirm the previous committee. "So, to" preserve the historical memory "(which, actually did not lead to great results, ed.) According to De Angelis, on this approach" c ' is a bipartisan board "but lacks" the agreement with the chairman and unfortunately has not been found yet an agreement. "Then the jab:" The function of a parliamentary commission of inquiry should also be to find a synthesis between the legitimate expectations of citizens and institutions. And 'This is the task of policy-states-not to accuse the Department of Defense, regardless. "The dialectic is expected to be particularly turned on. "My presidency of this committee, had said a few minutes before Lidia Menapace - was decided by the chairman of the Senate, I thank you. About me - who had already 'lost' the chair of the parliamentary defense committee at the beginning, there were vetoes. " Frankly, in the face of many military and civilian contaminated by depleted uranium controversy policies are secondary. Times are tight. Expect concrete answers. Menapace has invited citizens and experts to write directly to the "parliamentary commission of inquiry into depleted uranium" (Senato della Repubblica, Rome). source: http://www.aprileonline.info/2341/uranio-45-decessi-e-oltre-500-malati
