They stole ancient treasures from the city’s famous museums where some of the most impressive archaeological finds of the past century had been preserved.

"I didn't want to make a film that was like a postcard," says Dillon. "That's why I didn't shoot at Angkor?you can see that on the Travel Channel." Instead, Dillon's Cambodia...
...wave of soldiers, including Murray, would follow, fanning out across Iraq on a different mission. Their principal tasks: to win over the Iraqi people by handing out emergency humanitarian aid, and to unearth Saddam's presumed stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. These soldiers would be operating in a lawless, battle-scarred landscape in which civilians would be fearful and shell-shocked but might have information about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) concealed from U.N. inspectors. And they would be working against the clock. "Once the regime falls, the cities are imploding and the Baath Party is taking off running...
