As JDG has pointed out, the number of items currently believed to have been stolen is 33 and dropping. Truly the looting must have been terrible. There were a fair number of people who said some remarkably foolish things about the so-called looting of the Iraqi museum. Odds that any of them will even admit they were wrong? I do wonder, at some point will the credibility of these people just evaporate? I mean, will people say, gee, the people of Iraq _did_ celebrate when we arrived, Saddam _was_ defeated fairly easily, the country _didn't_ collapse into civil war, the museum _wasn't_ looted, and so on - at some point will the media say (as the public already has) that empirical reality and these people's beliefs are, let's be kind, orthogonal? ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
