It is no secret that the U.S. military has used the ocean as trashcan for munitions in the past. Peter discussed at the Old DSN how federal lawmakers were pressing the US Army to reveal everything it knows about a massive international program to dump chemical weapons off homeland and foreign shores. "The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels. http://scienceblogs.com/deepseanews/2007/06/munitions_dumping_at_sea.php Yes munitions, I got my problems with that too but we are talking about nuclear waste. Excuse me I missed the last part of that. I will have to check the source. Ok a quick check says there are serious bias's and no verification it's just want some one posted via blog report. I am aware of munitions dumping and have seen enough credible sources that I believe that, but nuclear dumping is a much different matter. You're going to have to come up with something a little more reliable than a blog to convince me. |

President Barack Obama vowed Monday "to halt the rise of piracy," and how is he going to do that??? pirates have been around for a very long time and haven't been halted yet That was very carefully worded statement. Notice it does not say he will "stop" piracy just going to halt the rise. I don't think he can do that either but it's easy to play games with the numbers to make an appearance of success. they have been around for a VERY long time and no one has halted the rise yet. not to mention...the laws of the countries that might be protecting them That, and with Obama embracing Islam. Could have been seen as a conflict of interest He's a Christian. |

It's all over various sites, but a lot of them are suspiciously the same story retold. I did read one that went as far back as a year ago, so I don't think it's new news. You did the hair cut already. ![]() ![]() |

I have read plenty about it and have yet to see one link saying the piracy is because of nuclear waste being dumped there. The problem is Somalia is a lawless ungoverned land with miles of sandy coastline and poor starving people. They claim the piracy started about ten years ago because of illegal Tuna fishing being done in their waters and escalated into hijacking commercial ships for ransom! If you have a link to anything else, Id sure like to see it! |

"The current situation along the Somali coastline poses a very serious environmental hazard not only in Somalia but also in the eastern Africa sub-region, the report says. Toxic waste was first dumped in Somalia in the late 1980s, but accelerated sharply during the civil war which followed the 1991 overthrow of the late dictator Mohamed Siad Barre."
"Local warlords, many of them former ministers in Siad Barre’s last government, received large payments from Swiss and Italian firms for access to their respective fiefdoms. Most of the waste was simply dumped on remote beaches in containers and leaking disposable barrels. Somali sources close to the trade say that the dumped materials included radioactive uranium, lead, cadmium, mercury and industrial, hospital, chemical and various other toxic wastes. In 1992, Unep said that European firms were involved in the trade, but because of the high level of insecurity in the country there were never any accurate assessments of the extent of the problem." This is from the article I sort of linked earlier. Its rather telling about who is responsible. The Somalis. |

Well... This is interesting! ![]() I kind of doubt that the pirates are technical enough to realize this but who knows. I tend to believe the tribal leaders just found a new way to make a buck in a lawless country!! |
