Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. This article has some interesting description of a cuneiform library.

I'm sick of these leftist blame-America first, last, and always CRY-BABIES!!

There ain't a damn thing that was in that museum that was PRICELESS!!

Nothing.

A coalition life being lost is priceless. An inanimate object only rich, elitist jackasses look at anyway isn't worth the sweat off one Marine's ass!

So you leftists stop your whining. We kicked ass, took names, and you idiots just have to find SOMETHING, ANYTHING to whine about!

Okay . . . whew . . . I took my nitroglycerin tablet. Relax . . . relax. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.

It became priceless after they destroyed it.

I agree this loss is not a small thing. Memories are long.

Folks are STILL mourning the loss of the library of Alexandria. No matter who can be blamed, it's a great loss.

Possible culprits:Stupid people who have no regard for their own history, or theives who would profit by selling to wealthy private collectors who would hoard such treasures!

Still think that Saddam's henchman may have gotten much of the stuff long ago while the museum was closed and traded it for palaces, pools, wine, sex, gold, cars, Arabian horses, private zoos,bulging bank accounts, Oh Yeah...and weapons!

Lots and lots of weapons.
