Sorting Out What’s Missing At Iraqi Museum

Reports of what’s missing from Iraq’s National Museum after looters got done have been contradictory. “The number of items stolen during and after the war from one of the world’s premier collections of early-civilization antiquities appears now to be much smaller than first suspected. Thousands of pieces, however, are missing. Although many of the thefts are being attributed to looters, some appear almost certainly to be the work either of insiders or experts.”
