I just heard Elizabeth Stone,an archaeologist at State University of New York at Stony Brook say on Science Friday on NPR that UNESCO people will NOT be allowed into Iraq to inventory losses from the museum, etc.  Does anybody have any further information about this?  Documentation? Insight into the thinking of the people (the state department?) that made this decision?
