It seems that everyone in the Conservative blogosphere is snapping their jaws at CNN News Director, Eason Jordan, these days. Mr. Jordan reputedly made statements at a recent international conference in Davos, Switzerland, either implying or actually accusing the US Military, either officially or by individual soldiers, of targeting journalists in Iraq.

These comments, made in the presence of several hundred people, including US Rep. Barney Frank, US Sen. Chris Dodd and David Gergen. There is some confusion as to what was actually said, in what context, in what order and whether or not or how much and in what way Mr. Jordan attempted to clarify or back-track on his initial comments.

The entire thing is recorded on a Davos videotape but they are refusing to release it due to a "rule" that precludes identifying specific speakers at certain informal session.

If, indeed, Mr. Jordan is guilty of the more serious attributions he should either back them up with hard evidence, resign or be fired from his position. It would not do CNN's reputation any good to have their News Editor accusing the US military of such atrocities without any proof to back it up. Is CNN "fair and unbiased?" Do they present the news and "let the viewer decide?" Oh, I forgot, that's Fox News....
