Depleted Vets
Some Iraqi war veterans are suing the Pentagon over health problems they say are caused by depleted uranium. A scientist, a politician and a military man all weigh in on what some are calling the new Agent Orange. Plus, Debra Galant, the former Suburban Life columnist for The New York Times, will talk about her new novel set in the New Jersey suburbs; former New Jersey governor Jim Florio and Forbes.com editor David Andelman the latest on the Dubai Ports World deal; and listener calls on television: the good, the bad and why bad is sometimes better.
