CNN's top news executive, Eason Jordan, said Friday he's resigning amid controversy over his assertion that journalists were targeted and killed by coaltion forces in Iraq. "After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq," he said in a note to CNN staff.

Gee, Eason... there would be an easy way to resolve the controversy over the conflicting accounts... RELEASE THE TAPE!

As if there isn't a sizeable collection of tarnish already collected on CNN.

Methinks someone has a copy of the tape and basically told Jordan he could either resign or have it broadcast.

Great news, but he sadly accomplished his goal of saving CNN from a big black mark. It didn't get much mainstream coverage and it won't now, either. Most people don't even have a clue who Eason Jordan is.
