As I blogged,
One of two things is true– 1) the Chief News Executive at CNN has been slandering our troops in a manor that is treasonous, or 2) our troops have been murdering journalists and the media has been ignoring the subject. And I agree with him that it is extremely important that we, the people, find out which it is.
Either way, justice would only be served by jailtime, for Jordan if the former is the case, or for those involved in the military (including those who gave the orders, if applicable) if it is the latter.
But either way, Jordan should immediately be removed from his position. If he was talking out of his rear, as I both suspect and hope, he should be fired for his treasonous statements. And if he was being truthful, he should be fired for being complicit in not covering the story– especially since, as Jim Geraghty points out, Jordan’s news organization has kept its mouth shut about atrocities before:
Yes, this is the same Eason Jordan who wrote in the New York Times that CNN reporters in Baghdad witnessed abuses, including torture of Iraqis by Saddam’s secret police, and did not report this to viewers in order to to keep CNN’s Baghdad bureau open.
Fired, tried, convicted and executed using post-Revolutionary punishment (hung, but not until dead, then gutted, drawn and quartered).
Bring'em down out of their rarified air up there on Mount Olympus.

How Dare He go to Treason Manor to Slander Our Troops.
(Is that anywhere near Gunpoint?)
excellent! Hit it dead on...
Why initiate an investigation into bogus claims. The fact that there is an investigation will bring more media coverage and taint our soldiers.
I think we should be justly outraged that a media ghoul should, in addition to constantly promoting anti-American hatred, now accuse our soldiers of risking their lives in order to kill Americans.
This is like telling a lie and then treating it as the truth by giving it credibility.
