This site should of been protected on day #1.

I heard on FNC that the museum keepers supposedly had a 48-hour emergency evacuation plan wherein they would remove the antiquities to a safe location. They should have put that plan in action in the weeks before the troops got to Baghdad. (During the sandstorm would've been optimum.) Methinks the curators may have themselves been involved in orchestrated "looting." I hope items are found eventually (and some will be) and the new "owners" are charged with theft.

I agree with you--this smacks of an inside job, and any real treasures should have been safely stored knowing that war was coming to Baghdad.
