[Blood of Tyrants]

It is most likely that it wasn't just your run of the mill street looter who took the most valuable objects but theives who planned the looting weeks in advance. Not to mention that Saddam and his cronies stole anything they could sell to the French.

I knew this story smelled from the very beginning. Plus, even if the ancient art and artifacts were really looted that day, they weren't worth the life of one american soldier. Nobody got to see those treasures anyway unless you were Saddam's good buddy.
