Incredible. Sneaky New York Times. Don't you love catching New York Times reporters being ignorant and foolish? Here there is a silly article about a silly new computer game that ostensibly teaches US military people to speak Arabic. And then the writer says: "NO ONE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO READ OMAR KHAYYAM AFTER THIS TRAINING." [Khayyam of course wrote in Persian]. But that sentence has now been removed from the web version of the article, perhaps trying to save the paper from embarrassment.
