US used white phosphorus in Iraq;

The Pentagon has confirmed that US troops used white phosphorus during last year's offensive in the northern Iraqi city of Falluja.
'It was used as an incendiary weapon against enemy combatants,' spokesman Lt Col Barry Venable told the BBC.

Col Venable denied that the substance - which can cause burning of the flesh - constituted a banned chemical weapon.

Meanwhile Cheney argues for the use of torture in the US Senate.
