I'm no fan of Ahmadinejad, but this is strange
The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Thursday February 22 2007
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, has not "called for Israel to be wiped off the map". The Farsi phrase he employed is correctly translated as "this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time". He was quoting a statement by Iran's first Islamist leader, the late Ayatollah Khomeini.
"Israel must be wiped off the map" is the front page statement. Months and months later, there is a correction?
Is the Guardian trying to revise history, or is the Mainstream Media doing another butt-snorkel job supporting the Bush administration, whooping us up for another bullshit war with repeated lies?
Either way, it is disturbing.
