US President Barack Obama has described as "hateful" and "offensive" the claim by Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that most people believed the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Mr Obama was speaking exclusively to BBC Persian television, which broadcasts to Iran and Afghanistan.

Mr Ahmadinejad's speech at the UN General Assembly triggered a walkout.

Mr Obama said it was inexcusable to make such remarks in New York itself, where most of the victims of 9/11 died.

Nevertheless, he reaffirmed America's commitment to reach out to the people of Iran.

You're welcome.............

.................but it is not a burden to watch this.
I am fascinated in how the press is handling the seeping out of 9/11 truth.

Certainly their mandates, coming from the boards of directors and the boards of foundations that support them, is that they do not present anything relating to 9/11 truth.

When Ahmadinejad comes out with something like he did, though, they are in a pickle, because it is such obvious news and they can't rationally ignore it.

They really don't know what to do with it. Their demonizing of the man sounds quite silly to a lot of the world's people. They'd love to ignore it all, and some sites do.

Fascinating.

I'm waiting for more from Ahmadinejad, or maybe from Hugo.
