+ Más sobre el white phosphorus, brothers.

Bruce R. desde Flit nos cuenta un poco más sobre el Fósforo Blanco de Faluya, y hace hincapiés en que el Convenio de 1980 no afecta a este tipo de "arma":

*I've seen a lot of people claiming that the 1980 Incendiary Weapons protocol of Geneva forbids the use of white phosphorus against civilians. It does not. It forbids the use of "incendiaries," and specifically excludes weapons like WP where the incendiary effect is a secondary effect of smoke production (incendiary weapons by definition are those weapons designed to create fires...WP occasionally will start fires, but it's not very reliable in that role...generally it just creates a lot of smoke). Whether the U.S. has signed it or not is irrelevant.
