This is the kind of stuff you don't read about in the Main Stream media. They are usually promoting the opposite and make no effort to correct themselves.
U.S. Team Took 250 Tons of Iraqi Munitions
A U.S. Army officer came forward Friday to say a team from the 3rd Infantry Division took about 250 tons of munitions and other material from the Al-Qaqaa arms-storage facility soon after Saddam Hussein's regime fell in April 2003.
Maj. Austin Pearson said at a Pentagon news conference that he was tasked in the days after the fall of the Iraqi regime with a mission to secure and destroy ammunition and explosives. He led a 25-man team called Task Force Bullet.
His comments were the latest twist into the mystery of what happened to 377 tons of explosives that the International Atomic Energy Agency reported missing from Al-Qaqaa. The IAEA reported the matter to the United Nations on Monday and said it feared that looters may have stolen the explosives.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said today that a U.S. military unit removed and destroyed 250 tons of munitions from a weapons depot, but it has been unable to determine whether the cache was the same one at issue in recent presidential campaign speeches.
