Well spunky local Minneapolis affiliate KSTP (go channel 5!) happened to have some interesting footage that backs up the Pre-Bush-spin pentagon official's statement that the munitions did not go missing before US troops got to them.

This is from the report. Still not conclusive, but pretty hard to ignore:

Using GPS technology and talking with members of the 101st Airborne Division, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has determined the crew embedded with the troops may have been on the southern edge of the Al Qaqaa installation, where the ammunition disappeared. The news crew was based just south of Al Qaqaa, and drove two or three miles north of there with soldiers on April 18, 2003
During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS news crew bunker after bunker of material labelled "explosives." Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get into the bunkers and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.

There were what appeared to be fuses for bombs. They also found bags of material men from the 101st couldn't identify, but box after box was clearly marked "explosive."
In one bunker, there were boxes marked with the name "Al Qaqaa", the munitions plant where tons of explosives allegedly went missing.

Bush supporters are spinning to blame some more bad apple soldiers and Russia and the nasty character of that bad man Kerry for this blunder. Just get on it already and figure out what the hell happened. This does not help me feel safer, its evidence to the contrary. Now a militant group is claiming to have some of the stuff...
