"It Wasn't a Genocide. It Was a 'Deportation'"

Did you happen to catch the 60 Minutes segment last night about Turkey's 1915 genocide of infidel Armenians? It's amazing--and appalling--that all these decades later the Turks remain adamant that it wasn't what it obviously was. Bob Simon did his best to make Turkey's U.S. ambassador 'fess up to the historical reality (the prototype for the Holocaust), but since any Turk who does so can be thrown in the slammer--or worse--you can well understand his reluctance to do so. Hence the statement quoted above, the ambassador's explanation of how and why 1.5 million Armenians ended up dead.
