One last whack at the dead horse, from the "Guardian"
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,974193,00.html>The Museum Looting That Wasn't.
Key paragraph, pointed out by many others besides me:
Furious, I conclude two things from all this. The first is the credulousness of many western academics and others who cannot conceive that a plausible and intelligent fellow-professional might have been an apparatchiks of a fascist regime and a propagandist for his own past.
The second is that - these days - you cannot say anything too bad about the Yanks and not be believed.
That last sentence should be bronzed.
