"The paintings were taken earlier in the week at al-Karameh border post from unidentified journalists entering Jordan from Iraq and were sent to the main Customs Department in Amman, said the officials, well-informed on the confiscated items. The paintings were being verified for authenticity but that preliminary checks led to them to believe the material had been looted from Iraq, the officials said on condition of anonymity. "
Unidentified journalists?? Maybe the same ones writing all the articles about how vile the U.S. is for not "protecting" the museums?
I wonder what name they use to post on Free Republic>
LOL. Journalists? HHHMMMMMMMMM?
Could this be a lesson in "how to create a bogus ANTI-US story, and profit from it?
Remember the slanted, semi-anti US movie with George Clowney..Three Kings. Isn't it interesting that our Marines find and protect some $300-400 million in US hundred dollar bills, Our US MARINES are also currently positioned outside a bank guarding some $1 billion in Iraqi gold.
and those scum bucket journalists STEAL Iraqi paintings. Sounds like a movie Hollyweird would NEVER want to make.
