The court also referenced a 2001 signing statement by President Clinton which stated, "(the United States) recognizes that title to a United States or foreign sunken State craft, wherever located, is not extinguished by passage of time, regardless of when such sunken State craft was lost at sea." So if they stole it from the Mayans (or the Aztecs, or whomever they stole it from), it's theirs forever?

I'm of the opinion that the Spanish Government has no more right to the salvage as do the salvagers. Maybe the next find will find its way back to Peru, and then let the Spaniards try to get it again.
