It won't be long before the Iraqis are returning artifacts to the museum that were never there in the first place.

Most of this "theft" was MADE UP (fabricated) by the Boston Globe
and its rabidly Blairing New York Times.

I guess the Hindustan Times hasn't yet caught up with the real world yet. The actual count of stuff missing from the museo is 27. Now it's down to 26. There have been many press reports quietly debunking the idea that many thousands of objets were looted.

Too hot to handle.
The insiders who stole some smaller trinkets of not-too-shocking-value understood the criminal marketplace.

15,000? Down from 150,000. Guess they were going for a more realistic number since the first one was so unrealistic.
The whole thing was fabricated. Nothing in the news about it is trustworthy now. I still have a large collection of saved news stories from when this fantasy broke from never-never land.
Even if a few real - as opposed to the mostly FAKE - artifacts were really stolen...I could now care less. And I'm an historian. I will never forget the way people claimed our soldiers should have quit guarding the HOSPITALS and risk their lives to save a museum...from IT'S EMPLOYEES. GRRRRRRRRR....I STILL wanna knock TEEH out when I think of this EPIC FANTASY OF THE LEFT!!

It had probably sunk into the quagmire before they fished it out.

"A tip-off came to the museum, we were given an address that led us to a juvenile, then an older man and eventually the culprit. "
This is a GREAT sign. A sense of identity might be returning to the Iraqi people - part of their NON-religious cultural heritage.
When we leave, hopefully we will leave them with a sense of unity - their former leaders kept them under foot by keeping the old hates bubbling - each blaming the other instead of Saddam.
