LOOTERS, RIOTERS, OR OPERATIVES?

Interesting story from Iran. Iraqis stormed their embassy there today, simultaneously ripping down pictures of Saddam Hussein while chanting "Death to America." Of course, being in Iran, the chant is understandable--you can't go around saying how great America is in the country that invented the phrase "Great Satan" to describe us. That'll get you imprisoned or shot, or imprisoned and then shot.

But some of the "looters" did something very disturbing:

Windows and furniture were also vandalised, and the only item spared seemed to be embassy documents, which people in the crowd were seen taking away. (emphasis mine).

As Baghdad fell, Iraqi embassy employees in Brazil were seen burning papers from the archive. Now, in Iran, in the midst of a "riot" some of the participants carted away papers from the archive. There's something going on here. What's in those papers that someone doesn't want the world to know about?
