Speaking of Translation

...of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:

"Experts confirm that Iran's president did not call for Israel to be 'wiped off the map'. Reports that he did serve to strengthen western hawks.

...

"I took my translation - "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" - from the indefatigable Professor Juan Cole's website where it has been for several weeks."

So why am I just now hearing about this? Wasn't the original speech close to a year ago? Must be that "liberal media" again...
