US Soldiers Vandalized Ur

The Observer is reporting that US soldiers stationed at a new base close to the ancient Sumerian city of Ur have been vandalizing the city's walls by spray-painting SEMPER FE and by stealing bricks that are thousands of years old.

That's right--our brave men and women are liberating Iraqis by destroying their national treasures. And of this we are supposed to be proud?

Incidentally, the military is refusing to comment.
