actually this was also covered on CBC on several occasions....

This has been analyzed since it first was identified circa first invasion (1991) when the US started using depleted uranium. (Bush Sr)

searching "site:bbc.co.uk research "depleted uranium"" also brings up some interesting stuff...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/408122.stm
for instance... (Jul 30 1999) : referring to use in Serbia likely to result in higher cancer rates, complete with references to evidence....


This is all stuff that appears every year or two and then promptly gets buried. Quick searches only show research going back to the early 90s, but one of the CBC links above hints that it's been a known risk since 1974.
