Library officials told auditors that "the collection contained approximately 100,000 items, yet the library systems only had information to locate and account for approximately 20,000 items," Brachfield said.
"This does not automatically mean the approximately 80,000 remaining items are missing. The vast majority may very well be safely located within the library's storage facilities. ... Some of these items may be missing or stolen, or none of these items may be missing or stolen."
If it is indeed theft, then I can only think it celestial irony that this library was looted just like we (Rumsfeld et al) allowed all of Iraq's libraries, museums and government buildings to be looting in the first few days following our "Mission Accomplished".
On the other hand, if it's all just mismanagement, the cosmic "heckuva job" irony is simply even greater proof that:
(a) The GOP can't be trusted to run institution properly.
(b) The idea that private sector organizations are somehow better run than government ones is not inherently true.
Better to get the Republicans out of government and let them play their war games on a PC or console, where they can restart all they want.
