A review of Iraqi archaeology

TCS: Tech Central Station - The Iraq Museum, Reloaded. Seems that the US, contrary to popular belief and conventional wisdom, weren't as bad as we were made out to be.

The archaeologists who didn't complain about Saddam's destruction of sites, probably did so for a good reason. If they had complained, they wouldn't have been able to go into the sites. The US, on the other hand, takes the criticism and continues to work with them. They know that. It is a case of having your cake and eating it too.
