A meeting at NATO headquarters today revealed a disagreement in the alliance over the use of ammunition coated with depleted uranium. Italy contends that the weaponry might be responsible for at least six soldiers who died of leukemia after serving in the Balkans where uranium-tipped anti-tank shells were used. Italy and several other countries argued for a moratorium on the use of such munitions. But Britain and the U.S. say there's no evidence the shells caused the leukemia. Noah talks with Andrew Osborn, European Correspondent for The Guardian, who is in Brussels, Belgium.
