Gulf War Illness Report

From the Washington Post: "A report released yesterday concluded that Gulf War syndrome is a legitimate condition suffered by more than 175,000 U.S. military veterans who were exposed to chemical toxins in the 1991 Persian Gulf War."

The Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses issued a lengthy report yesterday: "Gulf War Illness and the Health of Gulf War Veterans: Scientific Findings and Recommendations." The committee website links to related reports and documents on Gulf War illnesses.
