Thank you for the first half of your post,...David;<br /><br />Thank you for the first half of your post, which was factual. I can understand your difficulty in understanding U.S. law and U.S. politics (it's not entirely logical). The fact is that in America, there are rules (call them laws if you like). ACCG is playing by those rules. There are some who would like the rules to be different. Well and good for them, but the rules are still the rules. Don't universities have rules? Is it ok to ignore them if you don't like them? <br /><br />If you or your colleagues think ACCG has broken any rules, please don't hesitate to consult an attorney familiar with U.S. law and check that out. If you doubt that some members of the U.S. government have broken the rules that guide their activity, stay tuned and see what the courts ultimately have to say about that. In the meantime, academic ethics would, I think, suggest that you abstain from ill informed and uneducated comments about government ethics and responsibilities or case law and its citation. By the way, what Mr. Ehrenberg drives is not a matter for litigation, even though you may like it to be. You did at least get the last sentence right. This is very much about the right to collect and own antiquities and about the preservation of that existing right. Does that bother you?<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />WayneWayne G.
