bush praises man in women's week gaffe
george bush has marked international women's week - by paying tribute to a man.he told reporters at the white house that the the libyan government had released fathi jahmi earlier today and that se was a a local government official imprisoned in 2002 for advocating free speech and democracy.
but he got his facts muddled. jahmi is "definitely male," said amnesty international's alistair hodgett.
the washington post reports jahmi, 62 is a male civil engineer sentenced to five years in jail after speaking out for a constitution and pluralism.
