This looting discussion is escalating. You can feel a sense of love or hate of country in some of the postings. Toward that end, I would suggest we all consider using http://news.google.com and doing a full and complete search before rushing to judgment on some of these hotbed topics. I have already done our homework on this topic. Here is what all the recent media postings still available online have to say. However, before I include these, I want to infuse the fact that ANYONE could be guilty of looting in this regard. Do not presume the parties in question are from one country or another unless you know. My search criteria were looting Iraq artifacts. http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/04/07/3e91279375f8b http://usinfo.state.gov/cgi-bin/washfile/display.pl?p=/products/washfile/latest&f=03040504.llt&t=/products/washfile/newsitem.shtml http://www.dw-world.de/english/0,3367,7489_A_824823_1_A,00.html http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/115632_warart03.shtml http://www.canada.com/national/features/iraq/story.html?id=3FBB32A3-AC49-4F2E-993E-DC64A02B1C52 http://www.dfw.com/mld/startelegram/living/5539517.htm http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/03/31/MN305566.DTL http://www.voanews.com/article.cfm?objectID=50C11A86-ACA9-45C0-BEF8DD5AA4C68267 http://www.calendarlive.com/galleriesandmuseums/cl-war-muchnic28mar28.story http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030327-121611-5254r http://news.statesmanjournal.com/article.cfm?i=59009 http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/news/special_packages/iraq/5476244.htm http://education.guardian.co.uk/egweekly/story/0,5500,920822,00.html http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/news/special_packages/iraq/5470444.htm http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_23-3-2003_pg9_14 http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/geted.pl5?ed20030323a1.htm http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/5444666.htm http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/base/news-7/1048232073278281.xml http://www.sanmateocountytimes.com/Stories/0,1413,87~11268~1257022,00.html http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/03/0319_030319_iraqiantiquities.html http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/03/19/MN67869.DTL ===== Indigo Nights [log in to unmask] Looking for a Job?
