NUCLEAR BOMBS GO OFF IN SUDAN
Oops! Make That Operation Sedan (in Nevada)
MISREAD OF TWO SYLLABLES IN TRANSCRIPT CREATES UPROAR IN AFRICA
And nobody here knows (or cares)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- There's an old saying that a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts its boots on. Let it be known that mistakes can travel just as fast -- and just as far. Take the case of Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-California, who at a hearing on Capitol Hill last week spoke about a 1962 nuclear test in the Nevada desert. The test was code named "Project Sedan." Tauscher's remarks were little noticed, until they were transcribed -- incorrectly -- in an unofficial transcript of the hearing. One letter was changed. The "Sedan" nuclear test became the "Sudan" nuclear test. And the government of Sudan took notice.
