More and more deformed Iraqi babies in Fallujah
[Liveleak] Here's another report about deformed babies in Fallujah, but the article blames white phosphorus. I really don't think that is what is causing the malformations and cancers.

As U.S. leaves Iraq, AP men recall a war in pictures
"I could see a column of smoke coming from the city center, and we drove there. The smell of burning flesh was everywhere. There was blood and black ash where bodies had been dragged on the asphalt. An SUV was on fire. Young people nearby were chanting anti-U.S. slogans.
