Weary Herakles: Further Comment

The BBC has a short report on the return of the "Weary Herakles" from Boston MFA ("Weary Herakles bust to be returned by US to Turkey", July 22, 2011). I was very surprised to read this:
Speaking to the Times newspaper, Katherine Getchell from the Boston Museum, said: "It's only in the last couple of years that they've presented us with photos and other evidence of looting from that site."
The matching torso event took place in 1992, and so nearly 20 years on Boston has come to the conclusion that there is a case to answer.
