Looting libraries

Superb article. Let us not forget the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Also, my intel friends confirm that the Baghdad job was staged by the curators themselves. They had the keys to open the safes with the coin collections, and knew enough to steal the real statues and leave the copies behind. Just an inside job, using the mob as cover.
