and of course Condi doesn't speak arabic
The NYTimes dropped the ball on this bit of "reporting"
"After Ms. Rice entered the meeting with Mr. Bashir, they sat in awkward silence for almost 10 minutes because Mr. Bashir speaks only Arabic and his security guards refused to let Ms. Rice's translator in."
Ummm....Wouldn't there be, like, no problem communicating if Ms. Rice spoke arabic? So why is it the arabic speaker's fault for not speaking english?
