What is the most amazing about this is I think that Mr Eason Jordan who wrote this was (when he wrote this) completely oblivious to the journalistic ethics and enormous implications of what he did and what he described in this article.

I think that he wrote this expecting that it would put both him and CNN in an heroic light----rather than exposing themselves as craven lying cowards.

Does anyone think he thought he was "confessing" something he did wrong?

Ding ding ding!

Look at the story on CNN.COM today. They are acting like they did something GOOD. But, of course, the nasty parts about them COLABERATING with the Iraqis is NOT printed in CNN's version.

Excellent comments...FYI..in case you missed it, must read Pirhana's comments on #744 this thread....he's new...and he's very good....regards

He doesn't come across like he is confessing. He is just telling the rest of the story. He slants the story so we should feel sorry for CNN having to work under these conditions, and that we should remain grateful that CNN stayed in Baghdad as long as it did.

Does he really feel guilty and humiliated? You bet he does. Why else would he rush this story out only 24 hours after the the Baghdad press was "freed"? There's a lot more that he wants to say. Nic Robertson is in on it too, I'm sure. Nic reports the news like he has a gun to his head...
