On Hawaii’s Big Island, U-S Air Force planes are dropping unarmed bombs the size of a small automobile.The first fear was of a bomb missing its target and hitting a school or hospital.But now, as we reported yesterday on KBOO News, the army base where the practice bombs are being dropped has been discovered to be contaminated with depleted uranium. Today, KBOO’s Crystal Leighty spoke with Activist Jim Albertini on the Big Island.
