An Italian satellite TV station, RAI News 24, will broadcast a program tonight that claims to have proof that the US used a napalm-like chemical on civilians in Iraq.
A translation of this La Republicca story appears on paper tigress's blog:
"In soldier slang they call it Willy Pete [actually, it's Whiskey Pete]. The technical name is white phosphorus. In theory its purpose is to illumine enemy positions in the dark. In practice, it was used as a chemical weapon in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah. And it was used not only against enemy combatants and guerrillas, but again innocent civilians."One US vet is reported to say: "I received the order use caution because we had used white phosphorus on Fallujah. In military slag it is called 'Willy Pete'. Phosphorus burns the human body on contact--it even melts it right down to the bone."
