Maybe it would work. . . . Garage sale finds from Iraqi cities (Free registration required)

At least one situation in Iraq took a turn for the better this week when it was announced that Baghdad's antiquities museum would reopen next month, following the recovery of many - though not all - of Iraq's looted archaeological treasures.

According to reports, dozens of those priceless artifacts were found stashed in secret vaults throughout Baghdad last week.

The remainder were recovered in a daring sting operation put together by coalition forces and the PBS series "Antiques Roadshow," which filmed a special Baghdad episode during the last week in May.
