Those troops are gone now, replaced by a scruffy army of "volunteers," mostly teenagers and retirees armed with AK-47s. They simply enter houses and take food. They seem to regard their mission as a nasty game of Supermarket Sweepstakes. Ron Jack, an American escapee who watched Iraqi forces pillage a giant Kuwaiti store, says, "They went straight for the hi-fis and televisions." Other troops have piled 12-wheelers high with...
