Iran's Ahmadinejad: Sept. 11 attacks a "big lie"
Ya gotta love this guy. He's the guy who really understands "the big lie," in the Goebbels sense of the word. For a while there he was claiming that his "Israel must be wiped off the map" statement was a mistranslation. That's pretty hilarious to begin with since he doesn't know English well enough to know whether the expression was a correct translation of his meaning, but more important, it wasn't a translation at all. It was the official English-language version of his speech published by The Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's official propaganda arm, and it was sitting on their website - in exactly those words - while he was accusing the west of misrepresenting him! Goebbels always preached that no matter how evident something is, if you just deny it vast numbers of people will believe you.
