Hawass Throws In Lot With Mubarak

Anyone with any illusions about Zahi Hawass' closeness to the repressive Mubarak regime should note that President Mubarak has just named him State Minister of Antiquities in a new Cabinet.

Meanwhile, criticism of Hawass remains generally muted in the archaeological community, with some exceptions. See http://larryrothfield.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-on-looting-of-cairo-museum-it.html
