This is only the most recent in a string of ethical and professional missteps for Mr. Eason. As I recall, he was involved in the CNN 'Deal' with Saddam during Gulf I to give selected coverage (i.e., Ignore negative aspects of the Regime in it's coverage) of the Iraq situation in return for access granted to his reporter, Peter Arnette. I think I'm right on this and, this, couped with his other failures should be sufficient grounds for severe sanctions at the minimum. With NN I doubt anything will happen and he'll instead probably be given a raise.

And then there was this little incident:
Eason Jordan states that Uday Hussein told him that he was going to assassinate King Hussein of Jordan and his two brothers-in-law who had defected. Jordan says he "felt a moral obligation" to tell King Hussein about the threat. That's all fine and good, but didn't he have the same "moral obligation" to warn Uday's brothers-in-law??? If not personally, at least through US intelligence channels?
Well, he didn't. The brothers-in-law were lured back to Iraq under promises of their well-being - and then executed.
