Why does Gregg Dumdum insist on pronouncing Qatar "Gutter"?

It's driving me crazy. It seems all the journalists are pronouncing it Kutter instead of Kuh-TAHR, as I learned it. Was there a memo that we didn't get?

I got into a discussion one time with a friend over the pronounciation of Qatar. I thought that Gutter was wrong, but after some research on the net I found that it is an acceptable pronounciation. The locals laugh if you pronounce Qatar as guitar.
