Phil Weiss also conveyed how '60 Minutes' was/is refusing to cover the Mearsheimer/Walt book (www.israellobbybook.com) in the following blog entry (scroll down to the comments section there as well if interested further):

I think The producer ought to get sued for doctoring up Akmadidijads interveiw . I think he should return that emmy. Get zionism out of CBS and then Me and others might start watching it again. We will expose the truth. I have a u-Tube of it.

And again, as per the Iranian news agency:

Ahmadinejad: Israel must be wiped off the map

Tehran, Oct 26 - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday called for Israel to be "wiped off the map".

"The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," the President told a conference in Tehran entitled 'the world without Zionism'.

"The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land," he said.

"As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map," said Ahmadinejad, referring to the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini.

Addressing some 4,000 students gathered in an interior ministry conference hall, Ahmadinejad also called for Palestinian unity, resistance and a point where the annihilation of the Zionist regime will come.

"The Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy to live in its heartland," he said.

Regarding the Zionist regime's retreat from the Gaza Strip he said, "we should not settle for a piece of land".

"Anyone who signs a treaty which recognises the entity of Israel means he has signed the surrender of the Muslim world," Ahmadinejad said.

"Any leaders in the Islamic umma who recognise Israel face the wrath of their own people."…

And again, you can even see it reported on Al-Jazeera and other agencies:

I quickly googled "wiped off the map mistranslation" and clicked on the very first link. Ahmadinejad did not say that. Why should we believe any of the incendiary statements attributed to him when the media has been caught editing out his peaceful remarks and mistranslating non-aggressive remarks in what is now clearly recognizable as a mandate to vilify him? Doesn't matter if you put their lies in bold. They're still lies... or at least anyone with a nano-particle of fairness left would have to assume so.

Thank you for covering this! I too feel it's criminal that this interview was doctored and sold to the American people. This is yet one more example of the corruption of our mainstream media. Shame on them!!

99,

You Googled it and guess what? He did say it.

It wasn't a "mistranslation".

That's why it was reported by the Iranian site that I posted- as well as by AL-Jazeera and others.
