Subject: Country X: What's in a letter, anyway?

The WashingtonPost.com's "dot.mil" columnist, William Arkin, has an article 
up re "Country X," the notional target of Pentagon wargame exercises... 
Arkin makes a case that it's Iraq.  But the WashPost's accompanying graphic 
is a silhouette of... Iran:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49207-2002Aug6.html

I sent e-mail this morning to Arkin, the site editor, and their world 
person... they have yet to amend or disappear the erroneous map.  Or maybe 
it's part of a plan, either to see how many Americans could actually 
recognize Iran on the map, or to warm us up to the idea of attacking them 
too... :-P
