"Jordan disagreed, and gave us an example of U.S. soldiers deliberately shelling a hotel in Iraq which was known to all as a haven for journalists covering both sides of the war."
That was the tank episode everybody in the world watched. Commented upon much here and elsewhere. During a battle a high building there was a large camera being operated, the tank on the bridge thought it could be a AT launcher or something.
Bump. I want to keep up to date on this.

There's a little good in everyone.
You cannot make this stuff up.
His utter disregard for the truth and her choice of a lover.
Hey, what's the big deal? It's not like a Republican told a white lie or anything causing a crisis. This was a dem and and presstitute. Who would expect truth from such a person in the first place? Everything that the old-timey media says or prints is probably a lie, so what? They always work against America! And. that is what actually makes many of them source good sources of information for the Mossad and IDF!
Hey! It's like a mosque harboring the enemy. Got 'em cornered in one spot - I say bombs away. Very insightful: "journalists covering both sides of the war...is this tacic admission that journalist 'cover' the 'otherside', including knowing of car bombings, IED's etc?
Isn't THAT the pot calling the kettle back? Journalists, "lie-ing" in wait to capture [the other sides] war efforts that kill our troops. Then complain that journalists are being killed. Oh, the hypocracy !!!
That's the one.
Because Chris Dodd is a pansy and prefers to be 'acknowledged' rather than take the moral high ground for his country. How can he sleep at night? They don't call them RATS for nothing.
Actually I said a lot more. The gist of my note was that if Jordan could not back up his comments, CNN should take action against him to maintain whatever credibility they had left.
They emailed the following snippy, condescending answer the next day:
"Many blogs have taken Mr. Jordan's remarks out of context. Eason Jordan does not believe the U.S. military is trying to kill journalists.
Mr. Jordan simply pointed out the facts: While the majority of journalists killed in Iraq have been slain at the hands of insurgents, the Pentagon has also noted that the U.S. military on occasion has killed people who turned out to be journalists. The Pentagon has apologized for those actions.
Mr. Jordan was responding to an assertion by Cong. Frank that all 63 journalist victims had been the result of collateral damage."
