The war was, ostensibly, undertaken to prevent massively destructive weapons in Iraq from falling into the wrong hands. Yet between April 3 and May 24, 2003, after U.S. troops occupied, searched, and vacated the al-Qa’qaa weapons depot, looters carted off 335 tons of ultra-high-grade plastic explosive from its known location...

More than 10,000 black-clad riot police had sealed off entire areas of the city in an attempt to prevent demonstrators from expressing their support for two pro-reform judges who were scheduled to appear in front of a disciplinary hearing that morning. The judges, Mahmoud Mekky and Hesham El Bastawissi, face possible expulsion from the bench after calling for the independence of Egypt's judiciary and protesting ballot fraud during last year's parliamentary elections.
