The artifacts are still there

"Lost from the Baghdad museum: truth" details the fact that the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad was not massively looted while US troops stood by. It was already cleaned out - on purpose by the curators to protect the artifacts.

I love the last paragraph.

P.S. Isn't The Guardian supposed to be ultra-liberal? If so, they really ruined their reputation with this story...
