Proof that Al Qaqaa Explosives Weren't Guarded?

Truthout is reporting a story by Eyewitness News 5 in Minneapolis about footage their reporters shot in Iraq on April 18th, 2003 that allegedly shows 101st Airborne troops entering explosives bunkers at Al Qaqaa and then leaving them unguarded. Go to this site to read the story and see the report and footage filmed by KSTP-TV. The video link is near the top of the page.

As the KSTP-TV story says says, "The missing explosives are now an issue in the presidential debate. Democratic candidate John Kerry is accusing President Bush of not securing the site they allegedly disappeared from. President Bush says no one knows if the ammunition was taken before or after the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003 when coalition troops moved in to the area."

According to Truthout, "The KSTP video is incredibly important in this context. It shows boxes marked 'al Qaqaa' and 'High Explosives.' It shows 101st Airborne troopers cutting the locks to the facility to get inside. Worse, it shows the KSTP embedded reporters stating flatly that, despite the fact that all these explosives were inside the facility, the place went completely unguarded."
