Elsewhere, more resignations, from people with some sort of conscience. Bush's top cultural adviser steps down over looting of Iraqi museum
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The chairman and two members of President George W. Bush's cultural advisory committee have stepped down in protest over the United States failing to stop the looting of Baghdad's museum, sources said.In a letter to Bush dated Monday, Martin Sullivan said he was resigning as chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on Cultural Property, a position he had held since 1995.
"The reports in recent days about the looting of Iraq (news - web sites)'s National Museum of Antiquities and the destruction of countless artifacts that document the cradle of Western civilization have troubled me deeply, a feeling that is shared by many other Americans," he wrote.
Again, remember, the BushJunta just doesn't care about people, especially Arabs in some foreign country that the Smirk probably can't find on a map.

Nothing Stops Zoo Looters, Except Lions

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Even the animals have gone. Baghdad's frenzied looting spree has left nothing untouched, and the city zoo is no exception.
Monkeys, bears, horses, birds and camels have disappeared, carted off by thieves or simply left to roam the streets after their cages were prised open.
More than 300 animals are missing -- only the lions and tigers remain.
The big cats, who were obviously too fearsome for the robbers, have been left neglected and starving in their enclosures.
In the days since U.S. troops entered the Iraqi capital, looters have ruled the amusement park in which Baghdad Zoo stands, roaming the site with rifles and crowbars and making off with anything of value.
