Several different archaeological groups extracted promises from Pentagon officers that Iraq’s national museums would be protected, but…Artifacts? Who cares about stinking artifacts? “Bad things happen in life, and people do loot,” Rumsfeld said.

From a Veterans Administration press release about a new government Earthday website:
