Did The U.S. Use Chemical Weapons In Fallujah?

Democracy Now hosted an intense debate this morning among an Army Lieutenant stationed in Baghdad, a U.S. soldier who fought in Fallujah and an Italian film producer about the American Military's use of White Phosphorus in Fallujah in the siege one year ago.

The Lieutenant was the kind of opposing witness every lawyer loves having on the stand. His evasion is subtle, but the conclusions are startling. He admits that the U.S. Military used white phosphorus, but then argues it is a legal weapon. He then claimed that it is not a chemical weapon. When that doesn't work, he says that they used it to destroy buildings, not against people.

But he never offers a credible explanation of how Fallujah was littered with dead bodies that had been dissolved to the bone, but with clothes intact. You can watch or listen to the debate.
