Talk:Iraq Museum

message: This article needs filling in (and possibly spinning off the theft completely into a separate article) from Bogdanos' book, Thieves of Baghdad. Bogdanos, a Marine reservist who is a New York City prosecutor by day and classicist by training, lead the team that investigated the thefts and launched a recovery program for the stolen pieces. I have filled in some from his Gazette piece, but there are many available online: or via print sources; I recall Time did a piece on him.
And yes, I will write up an article on him...when my to-do list gets shorter.--Mmx1 02:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs work from Bogdanos' Thieves of Baghdad 

message: From Simon Jenkins's article in The Guardian: When I visited the museum six months later, its then director, Donny George, proudly showed me the best he was making of a bad job. He was about to reopen, albeit with half his most important objects stolen. The pro-war lobby had stopped pretending that the looting was nothing to do with the Americans, who were shamefacedly helping retrieve stolen objects under the dynamic US colonel, Michael Bogdanos (author of a book on the subject). Today the picture is transformed. Donny George fled for his life last August after death threats. The national museum is not open but shut. Nor is it just shut. Its doors are bricked up, it is surrounded by concrete walls and its exhibits are sandbagged. Even the staff cannot get inside. There is no prospect of reopening. --Ghirla-трёп- 07:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
