Daily Kos: US Army Admits Use of White Phosphorus as Weapon
Steven D at Daily Kos: US Army Admits Use of White Phosphorus as Weapon: "The claim by the US Government that White Phosphorus was used only for illumination at Fallujah had been pre-emptively debunked by the Army. Indeed, the article goes on to make clear that soldiers would have liked to have saved more WP rounds to use for 'lethal missions.'"

One of the things I found most troubling that's not getting any play in this story is that in their denial the US military in Iraq confirmed what had been reported by the british press a year ago, that they used MK-77 a newer version of napalm.
Their defense, (seemingly proved wrong) about White Phosphorus use was, "no, we didn't burn people with WP, we burned them with napalm."
Like that's much better.
