An Arab-language television network and radio station, founded by the Bush administration to promote a positive image of the United States... recently gave air time to a militant who called for the death of American soldiers in Iraq.

This does seem a bit unfair to the Bush administration. Having fired many of their best Arabic language translators and killed off many of the best Arabic speaking journalists, how could they be expected to know what was being said on their US government-funded TV & radio station?

Another of life's little ironies....
