Need help finding Information Ministry Building in Baghdad

Factual Questions

Heres a map site:

Its fairly recent and it shows where the Saddam Intl Airport is where the 1st US Marines are currently engaged. I just want to know where the Information Ministry Building is in relation to the Saddam Airport. It strikes me as odd that the Iraqi Information minister would announce that the Americans are nowhere near Baghdad when they are pounding in an area relatively close to where he is transmitting.

Please help. No debate needed.

THere is a map toward the bottom of the page showing the building. I was just looking at it before I read your post.
