The Iranian government, citing "actions contrary to professional ethics in the past years and their distortion of the president's comments during his press conference on Saturday", has kicked CNN out of the country and banned CNN journalists from entering Iran.
The dustup concerns the alleged mis-translation by CNN of a Farsi word used by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejihad which, according to the Iranian culture ministry, means "technology". CNN translated it to mean "nuclear weapons".
I suppose that Ted Turner will have to go over there to straighten this all out. Maybe he can join with the Iranians in something like the old Goodwill Games. They could call it the Jihad Jousts or the Farsi Frolics or maybe the Holocaust Hustle. Before, you know, calling a press conference to tearfully apologize.
