Fincham on Kuwait

.
Derek Fincham weighs in on the "did he/didn't he?" fracas caused by London-based blogger PhDiva claiming she has a taped admission that a visiting professor at a US university single-handedly "looted" the Kuwait National Museum and "private collections" during the Iraq invasion. His verdict:
Looks like Donny George didn't help Iraq "steal" objects from Kuwait in 1991.
That really should not come as a great surprise to anyone - except perhaps ACCG's sensation-seeking lawyer Peter Tompa, who will, it seems believe anything without checking his facts. Will Cultural Property Observer should show a little culture himself and give Donny George the apology he is owed?
