reframing the du debate

I heard George Lakoff, guru of "reframing", speak the other night.  Rafael Borras, a local Veteran for Peace, asked him how we can get depleted uranium to be a major issue.  He suggested relabeling the issue: "radioactive weaponry".  The name "depleted uranium" was carefully selected to imply harmlessness.  "Radioactive weaponry" raises a red flag.
 
If you all think this is a good idea, how do we spread it?
