Did U.S. Military Secretly Aerial Spray St. Louis With Radioactive Chemicals? -- AllGov
African Americans living in St. Louis housing projects may have been subjected to radiation-laced spraying by the U.S. military during the Cold War.

But .... it is still disquieting that this info is only being released now .... and only through someone's diligent work and research. Makes you wonder (again) on what other military experiments were done that that we are not aware of.
