TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran on Monday banned CNN journalists from working there after the broadcaster misquoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying Iran wanted nuclear weapons, the ISNA students news agency said.

CNN's simultaneous translation of Ahmadinejad's lengthy news conference on Saturday included the phrase "the use of nuclear weapons is Iran's right".

In fact, what the Iranian president said was that "Iran has the right to nuclear energy," the official IRNA news agency reported. CNN later clarified in an apology on Sunday night.

The always accurate CNN, right? Anyway, it's one thing to throw an X over Cheney's face during a speech (later firing an employee who defended it as free speech, and other anti-Bush things to a caller), but no one expected CNN to stab their own friends in the back, like they did with this misquote of the Iranian President. Hopefully they'll kiss and make up... after all, if we have a conflict with Iran any time in the near future, we'll need CNN to get back in the saddle as the enemy's mouth piece.
