Columbia’s Dean Of International Studies twisting Ahmadinejad’s arm until he said bad things
Today, fromt the AP’s story about Iranian reaction to Bollinger’s intro and questions:

Despite calls to cancel Ahmadinejad’s question-and-answer forum at Columbia, Bollinger said the hardline leader, known for his anti- Israel and U.S. rhetoric, should be allowed to speak.
Ahmadinejad smiled at first in response to Bollinger’s words, then decried the “insults” and “unfriendly treatment.” In his speech, Ahmadinejad portrayed himself as an intellectual and argued that his administration respected reason and science. He even drew audience applause at times, such as when he bemoaned the plight of the Palestinians.
But the Iranian also found himself drawn into the type of rhetoric that has alienated American audiences in the past. He questioned the official version of the Sept. 11 attacks and defended Holocaust revisionists.
How do you “find yourself drawn into” your own words? He spoke voluntarily. The AP is a shameless anti-U.S. propaganda machine. It never ends with them.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
That’s the Associated (with Terrorists) Press for you. Always the fair and balanced types. Or not.
I love the photo caption!
