520 _a"The U.S. military withdrew from two major bases in the Philippines in the early 1990s, admitting that it was no longer welcome....But nearly a decade later, the former Subic Bay Naval Station and Clark Air Base are again the subject of a bitter dispute. American and Philippine environmentalists say U.S. forces left a trail of hazardous waste--from chemical-laced water that it is believed to have caused children to contract crippling diseases to unexploded bombs that have maimed and killed villagers." (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE) The author discusses the Philippine government's accusation that the U.S. military is responsible for widespread contamination at Subic and Clark, and is thereby accountable for the high rate of disease that inhabitants are experiencing.
