Why would you believe the reports, when media sources like WSJ and other news sources have flat out said it was incredibly overblown? See Missing (Baghdad) museum artefacts found safe in vaults, and The Non-Pillage of Baghdad: It turns out the "looted museum" story was way overblown. for just two such articles. A search on "museum" or "looting" would likely turn up more.

None of this is to deny the terrible damage that did occur, the priceless bits of Iraq's heritage that have been stolen or destroyed -- or the many thousands more works that might be confirmed missing when curators finally go through the storehouses.

The quote is from your WSJ link. Did you read it?

Now the dust is settling down at the Baghdad Museum, the reporters need a new hot story. They are going out to the archaeological sites being looted by it's own citizens. Please read E.L Andrew's article, "Iraqi Looters Tearing Up Archaeological Sites," from... the New York Times. More exaggerations and misquotes? The NYT already booted out two reporters for misrepresenting the truth. Will Mr. Andrews be next?
