"Bad Facts", Disgusting facts about US Antiquities Buyers

Kate Fitz-Gibbon of Arthur Houghton's Cultural Property Research Institute  (Tales From the Crypt: Science Fiction, Facts, and the Egypt MOU) accuses Professor Erin Thompson of quoting "bad facts"in her expression of support for the Egyptian MOU, as she puts it:

failing to note that Egyptian coins, which are sought to be embargoed by the MOU, were struck not only in Egypt, but also in Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Sicily, and in Israel 

"Maps don't lie" Peter Tompa bawled at the CPAC yesterday, so here's a map showing  Ms Fitz-Gibbon's "facts":

So, not only would she and the collectors she speaks for like there to be no controls on artefacts smuggled without paperwork from Egypt (state party like the US to the 1970 UNESCO Convention) but also entering the US without any export paperwork at all from the following countries:

Cyprus ('pillaged' country, with whom the US already has a partial MOU),
Syria (a country in the news a lot due to the ongoing heavy looting and thefts),
Turkey (a country recently discussed as a source of dodgy papyri and other Egyptian objects),
Lebanon (centre of recent trafficking of looted objects from Syria),
Jordan (another destination for smuggling of looted artefacts from Syria and Iraq) ,
Libya (heavy looting reported going on),
Israel (looting of archaeological sites going on)
Palestine (Ms Fitzgibbon refused to mention Palestine - looting going on here too)
Sicily (  looters and smugglers here too - Morgantina, Operation Gelas for example, and also some interesting coin fakers)*

 It seems to me the only bad facts visioible here are that the US collecting communitry (encapsulated by Ms Fitzgibbon's diatribe) is determined to uphold their "rights" to buy coins and artefacts from wherever and however they please, whether or not the source country is producing any looted objects. Ms Fitzgibbon is boasting that US cxollectors can buy aretafcts from all of these countries without needing to bother about any kind of paperwork, so - she argues - they have some kind of a "right" to expect they can buy them from Egypt too without any kind of limitations imposed. The desire to buy artefacts from Syruia no-questions-asked, no-papers-involved in the light of what we all know is happening there is particularly disgusting. Besides the realities of just what it is coineys are doing, and want desperately to continue to do, all the rest of Fitzgibbon's self-serving he-said-she-said pseudo-arguments are unimportant. It is the old tactic of deflection of attention to prevent public opinion focussing on the real crux of the matter. Shame, utter shame, on the lot of you.
