What is a dirty bomb ?

So I heard them getting all upset about the idea of some deluded idiot setting off a bomb with low grade radio active waste attached to it which would contaminate the surrounding area causing a nasty mess impossible to clean up for the next generation. I thought, this sounds like a Bad Idea, like a very short sighted, self serving idea for someone to do. Do you want your kids to live with the results of dirty bombs?

When I was watching a program on the weapons they use to penetrate armor and I heard the words " depleted Uranium " and as I watched this piece of Uranium basically vaporize and scatter it self around the area I wondered what a dirty bomb actually looked like and which side was really using them .

I think we should ask a few questions about this, it seems that our country may be using "dirty bombs" or something close to what is referred to as a "dirty bomb" on defense less people in third world countries.
I have also seen news stories about the ground troops who checked the disabled tanks for survivors are having trouble from radiation poisoning, and that the gulf war syndrome may be related to these weapons. But these incidents have been down played in a similar manner as the Agent Orange poisoning was in the 70's and 80's, even though specialized hazard suited teams are sent to clean up (bury) the mess left from "tank killer" weapons after the front has passed

Remember, "Complacency is the downfall of Democracy".
