CNN doesn't have a bureau in Iran. Actually, it has nothing in Iran
right now at all after a mistranslation of a speech given by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. CNN reported Ahmadinejad
saying "the use of nuclear weapons is Iran's right." What was actually said was "Iran has the right to
nuclear energy." The subtle difference being between using the power for energy or using it to blow things the
hell up. I have my own theories about Ahmadinejad's intentions, which you're more than welcome to try and extract from
my brain this evening while I sleep. I'll leave my door unlocked for you. Meanwhile, Iran is off limits to CNN until
further notice.TV Squad Hot Topics
