Audio - Iraq War’s toxic legacy

Stephen Zunes on foreign policy debate; Yifat Susskind on Iraq War’s toxic legacy
"Also on CounterSpin today: The toxic legacy of the Iraq War. New research, largely unreported in U.S. media, shows alarming levels of toxic lead, heavy metals and a massive increase in birth defects in the city of Fallujah, the site of two major offensives by the U.S. military. 
This news is shocking but sadly not surprising to those who have been tracking the public health effects of the war. 
We'll talk to Yifat Susskind of the human rights group MADRE about this story, what we know, and what Iraqis are doing."
