The clothing, documents, and remains of the bodies dug up at the mass grave near Hillah, Iraq, were put into plastic bags and left out for people to search as they tried to find their missing relatives. Plastic bags are a bad way to store such evidence, since the trapped moisture causes poisonous molds to grow. However, those in charge, Iraqis and Americans, paid no heed to advice from the specialists.
