Danger UXB2IED
Jonathan Schwarz at A Tiny Revolution links to Tom Engelhardt’s long article on air war tactics in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the use of air munitions to explode buried bombs and weapons caches. According to a photoessay in Foreign Affairs a year ago, 20% of Iraqis live within a mile of an area covered with unexploded munitions.
I wonder if you could use the explosive material from unexploded bombs to make, you know, an IED or something.
