Can't say I'm surprised that an Al_Jazeera 'journalist' was helping the terrorists.
If this were true, I don't think Eason Jordan would be around to make these claims.
Why is this man still employed?
Y'know, if we right-wingers really were half as nasty as he claims we are, he would long ago have taken up a new career, pushing up daises in some unmarked shallow grave. The fact that he hasn't does seem to kind of put the lie to his claims.
UPDATE: CNN has sent out an email to several bloggers, including us, that says:
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."
Heck of a day, when Barney Frank is the voice of reason.
He even "offered the story of an Al-Jazeera journalist who had been 'tortured for weeks' at Abu Ghraib, made to eat his shoes, and called "Al Jazeera boy" by his American captors."
Made to eat his SHOES? (How exactly is that done?) And then, just to be really, really mean, called him "Al Jazeera boy"? This story is so absurd that it boggles my mind that anyone could take it seriously. This is a parody, right?
Eason down, eason down the ro-hode.
Jordan needs to be "Rosenberged".
He is a known traitor, and if the government won't take him down, the stockholders who own his company should.
Just for today, for what he did, I won't post my usual, HORRIBLE picture of Barney Frank. Although leaving it to your imagination might be even worse...

Barney Frank took the side of America over that of the Tranzis and the Islamofascists?
Even if he is a butt pirate that alone makes him better than half the Democratsin Congress.
We've always known that the Corrupt Old Media was less sane than Rep. Barney Frank.
That's not saying a lot, but it still holds true today.
Is this the same married Jordan Eason who was having an affair with the widow of Daniel Pearl, WSJ journalist?
ping!
I've never heard of such torture this side of the Inquisition. I may have to read that again to believe the horror of it--they called him "Al Jazeera boy"? My God! Humanity has never reached such a low!
Eason seems a little jealous.
