Yeah, but by the US.
What's even more shocking than the use of CW themselves is how the news went unnoticed in the western world. The portuguese media are fairly independent and, although the news was read in all televisions, I wonder what would have happened if the US had found CW in Iraq after their invasion.
It is because of the policy of controlling information, deceiving mankind in general but also because I hate looking at footage of burned children at dinner time that I am starting this thread. All hail the italian media.

I expect at any minute Iran to invade the USA without a warrant from the UN, install a new islamic state run by an iranian governor for the time being, before handing out the power to a local Mullah in a year. The American President will go to trial in a special court with judges trained by the Iranians, for crimes against humanity and the use of chemical weapons.

ROME. In soldier slang they call it Willy Pete. The technical name is white phosphorus. In theory its purpose is to illumine enemy positions in the dark. In practice, it was used as a chemical weapon in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah. And it was used not only against enemy combatants and guerrillas, but again innocent civilians. The Americans are responsible for a massacre using unconventional weapons, the identical charge for which Saddam Hussein stands accused. An investigation by RAI News 24, the all-news Italian satellite television channel, has pulled the veil from one of the most carefully concealed mysteries from the front in the entire US military campaign in Iraq.
A US veteran of the Iraq war told RAI New correspondent Sigfrido Ranucci this: I received the order use caution because we had used white phosphorus on Fallujah. In military slag it is called 'Willy Pete'. Phosphorus burns the human body on contact--it even melts it right down to the bone.
RAI News 24's investigative story, Fallujah, The Concealed Massacre, will be broadcast tomorrow on RAI-3 and will contain not only eye-witness accounts by US military personnel but those from Fallujah residents. A rain of fire descended on the city. People who were exposed to those multicolored substance began to burn. We found people with bizarre wounds-their bodies burned but their clothes intact, relates Mohamad Tareq al-Deraji, a biologist and Fallujah resident.
I gathered accounts of the use of phosphorus and napalm from a few Fallujah refugees whom I met before being kidnapped, says Manifesto reporter Giuliana Sgrena, who was kidnapped in Fallujah last February, in a recorded interview. I wanted to get the story out, but my kidnappers would not permit it.
