Picture comes down - value goes up
February 16 2011
A portrait of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has been removed from the government's cabinet room. As the portrait that will become a symbol of his removal, it's worth far more now than when he was in power.
For anyone wondering what's in store for all those Mubarak images, a book called 'Toppled' has charted the fate of Saddam's statues.
