Apparently, Mr. Milbank snooped over my shoulder and saw that I had a scrap of paper with the phonetic spelling "mah-MOOD" and reported it was to help me pronounce the name of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. If Mr. Milbank had listened to my line of questioning or even snooped correctly, he would have known that I was talking about the speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani.
