Thieving US "right" crim garbage

Oddly enough, in light of the multiple-day extravaganza of looting of Iraqi antiquities that went on right under the nose of occupying American troops, before the war even began there were charges being slung by rabble-rousing archeologists and scientists that the United States was in cahoots with a group of wealthy art dealers to, um, liberate Iraq's historical heritage.

According to the April 6 edition of Scotland's Sunday Herald, the group American Council for Cultural Policy, which "is known to consist of a number of influential dealers who favour a relaxation of Iraq's tight restrictions on the ownership and export of antiquities . . . met with US defence and state department officials prior to the start of military action to offer its assistance in preserving the country's invaluable archaeological collections."

Meanwhile, with only three out of 32 hospitals still operable, Baghdadis are actively holding protests seeking the return of some semblance of government.
