In an Idaho Statesman story Radioactive sand coming to Idaho from Kuwait; BY JESSIE BONNER - THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, we learn that American Ecology Corp. is shipping about 6,700 tons of sand - nearly 80 train boxcars - containing traces of depleted uranium and lead FROM KUWAIT to a hazardous waste disposal site 70 miles southeast of Boise!
The Kuwait Ministry of Defense contracted MKM Engineers Inc. of Stafford, Texas, to package the waste and transport it to the United States. MKM then subcontracted with American Ecology for disposal, American Ecology spokesman Chad Hyslop said.
Wait, wait ... WHAT??!!!
We shipped 6,700 tons (that's 13,400,000 - thirteen MILLION pounds) of their radioactive dirt to us??!! Where does that make ecological sense? Is this some sort of anti-globull warming move? Balance out the glow around the globe?
And more importantly, why haven't we heard about this in the press? Not important enough - right, let's cover every time Obama sneezes and Hillary burps, but radioactive sand is not interesting enough.
Gaaaaaa!
