And there was no looting as in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

I saw a picture of a trashed cyber cafe (near the Place de Republique). All the computers were gone. There was one broken monitor on the floor. I do not believe the claim of no looting.

I think some of the blogs out of France also dispute the no looting claim.

I distinctly recall reading in the first week that there was looting. It's beyond the point where a guy has to jot down reported facts and watch for them to be left out later in the week's reporting.

France has alway had a problem telling the truth.
