This morning's edition of the Cincinnati Enquirer carries a story that Tennessee wants its regimental battle flags back, ones captured by Ohio troops.

Bad idea. I think either Mississippi or South Carolina, or groups from those states tried to get a flag back from Minnesota a few years ago. I don't get it. If they got captured, they got captured.

edit: Never mind, they're talking about flags in the hands of a private collection. The Minnesota example was one where the flag was the property of the State of Minnesota, maybe it wasn't even a flag, but a cannon. I can't remember.
