The latter half of this article about coalition soldiers' (and one BBC reporter's) explorations of an abandoned presidential palace reads like a bit too much text adventure game, to me. I think I was tipped off by the strange choice of words about soldiers adding items to their inventory, but the one-sentence paragraph about the pavillion was just way too on-style. I had to stop myself from typing X BARBECUE into my browser window.
