Iraq Jewish Community

When U.S. troops entered the basement of Saddam Hussein's secret police building in Baghdad a decade ago, they were looking for weapons of mass destruction. They didn't find any.
But they did discover a trove of documents from what was once a thriving Jewish community in Baghdad. Those documents in Washington at the National Archives.
The big question now is who owns the documents: the U.S., the government of Iraq, or Iraqi Jewish exiles?
So what else is new?
