So remember, kids: When white people take something that doesn't belong to them, it's called "stealing" and is the fault of white people. When Arabs or blacks (q.v. the Rodney King riots) take something that doesn't belong to them, it's called "looting" and is the fault of white people.

For sure. I noticed that the article didn't outright tell us when or from where the articles were supposedly 'looted'. We're sposed to assume that it's Bush's fault when the truth might be that the stuff went missing from a museum years ago, might have been been in a private collection & 'looted' from someone's house or hocked by a private collector who's out of work & strapped for cash.

oops...I missed this on the first read:

He [the marine] handed them to the FBI in Philadelphia after an archeologist confirmed their authenticity and said they had been stolen from one of Iraq's many archeological sites.

Unfortunately, this statement is totally true.
