Now why does the NY Times have to do this, being otherwise such an excellent newspaper? Even the President assumes everyone knows what a liter is.
Nat http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/28/international/middleeast/28IRAQ.html Iraq has declared that it produced 8,500 liters (a liter is slightly more than a quart) of anthrax for biological warfare before the Persian Gulf war in 1991, Mr. Blix said, and has claimed to have destroyed all of it unilaterally that year. >>> W. quoted on Saddam, in his State of the Union speech: "25,000 Liters of Anthrax" "38,000 Liters of Botulin" Come on media, don't "translate" it, just report it as the President said... >>>
