AFP: Only hundreds of items looted from Baghdad museum

Prolly something that will unleash an ancient evil. That's what usually happens when you rob a museum.

Seriously though, until some recognized international Museums get in their, scope things out, talk with currators, see records and assess the damage (and since there's a major Mesopotanian show at the MET right now, it's not like there isn't a world renowned team of experts on the subject currently assembled already) there's no way of knowing who's spinning what to which advantage.
