Listen Thursday, Feb. 17, 2005 at 1:06 p.m. in Conflict, Society

News reports of looting at the Iraqi National Museum may have been exaggerated in 2003, but it's clear that thousands of cultural treasures are now missing throughout the war-torn country. Find out how archaeologists and curators are frantically working to save a variety of priceless artifacts in the "Cradle of Civilization."

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.

Guests
