Political/ideological bias or not, I'd say the important thing about this
article is that one state, and one individual acting with the complicity of
the same state, has removed archive material from another state without
legal permission.
That's how I read it, anyway.
It just happens to be the US and Iraq.
I'd have thought that theft of any nation state's archives by another
nation state was cause for concern amongst archivists.
