So the media hyped and exaggerated this story?! Why, I'm shocked!

Why is it that everyone else has to supposedly be held accountable but the media never is?

I HATE THE PRESS!

The most significant of the damaged pieces was the Golden Harp of Ur. But investigators determined that the golden head on the damaged antiquity, feared missing, was only a copy. Museum officials confirmed to investigators that the original head was placed in a storage vault at the Iraqi Central Bank sometime before the war.

Count me among those who got fooled by the initial news reports.

Grrrr.

Like others here, that gripes me no end. All that screaming and wailing - and now, it's a non-story.

Look for them to bury it underneath a ziggurat.

I've listened (fairly) closely to news on talk radio today for this...
