Bush praises man in speech on women's rights

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites)
has marked International Women's Week by paying tribute to women
reformers -- but one of those he cited is really a man.

"Earlier today, the Libyan government released Fathi Jahmi. She's a
local government official who was imprisoned in 2002 for advocating free
speech and democracy," the president said in a speech at the White House
on Friday.

The only problem was that, by all other accounts, "she" is in fact "he".

"Definitely male," said Alistair Hodgett, spokesman for the human rights
advocacy group Amnesty International, whose representatives tried to see
Jahmi in prison during a recent visit to Libya.
