Dear Collegues,========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:
With some knowledge of German or a translation tool..., you can have access to an interesting article in the Swiss Newspaper "Weltwoche" about archeologist - and even ICOM members - who plundred the cultural heritage in Iraq under the dictatorship during the last 20 years. They left some pieces to the National Museum, some went to the U.S., to France and to the Herimtage, - and to private colletions. They are the experts of UNESCO now.

There are more reports about this subject in the German, French and Spanish press today.
No comment about young American soldiers, coming back with some pieces of paintings from a backyard in Bagdad and presented on CNN as responsible for the end in the civilized world.
