REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE APPALLED AT THEIR HIDING WEAPONS IN MOSQUES AND SCHOOLS?

The U.S. soldiers on Operation Grave Digger found roughly what they were after in Baghdad's King's Cemetery on Saturday: six AK-47 rifles, five fragmentation grenades, loads of ammunition, bayonets and other weapons including an RPK machine gun...

A prior raid also turned up rocket-propelled grenades and launchers, the weapon of choice for guerrillas.

When they first began graveyard searches, the soldiers randomly removed the lids of the sarcophagi, empty boxes atop the bodies buried underground. Then they discovered how to tap on the lids and listen for signs of a cache.

Because weapons were stored there, the cemetery was no longer protected under rules of engagement, according to officers of the 2-3 Artillery Battalion, part of the First Armored Division. Local people and special operations forces had tipped them off about the caches.

The soldiers launched Operation Grave Digger after midnight, in the hours of the U.S. imposed curfew, to avoid attracting a crowd or potential protests from anyone offended by foreigners disturbing the graves of their ancestors.

Recall it was only yesterday when the voice on the tape claiming to be Saddam said

"We ... sacrificed what we had to, except our values"

Reckon that's because you can't sacrifice what you don't have?
