    Yes. OTOH, this story could be interpreted as the occupation bureaucracy attempting to blame the Army bureaucracy for the screw up( if one thinks this situation was a screw up - there was an article at the Weekly Standard praising the looters...), hoping to curry favorable press.

    i was gonna do like jack nichlosan and say " you cant handle the reason" but in all seriousness its good that they looted and hopefully destroyed what might have helped explained are true history and told us who we are and why we arre here. Its better this way, nows not the time to shock the world and cause panic. some things are better left undiscovered.

    woofer thats one way of seeing . But were talking about the cradle of civilization here. the heart of Babylon. supposedly this is were it all began. So these arent just any old artifacts, documents, or such.. this the garden of eve. the enticement of the snake, the point where mankind supposedly took that wrong turn. bro as far as im concerned, there is some important history there that someone or a group of someones doesnt want the rest of the world discovering.
