I still think it's outrageous to exhume bodies simply to get at the data (and thaqt holds true for all archaeological excavations, not just recent Christian ones).

Sometimes bodies have to be exhumed to protect them for development, etc. but this is beyond the pale. It seems strange taht in a time where we are constantly (and rightly) told to respect other people's cultures that we cannot extend that basic respect bak to the past.

God is our guide! from field, from wave, From plough, from anvil, and from loom; We come, our country's rights to save, And speak a tyrant faction's doom: We raise the watch-word liberty; We will, we will,we will be free!
