Jordan Eason 

A blogger named Zed at Resonant Information makes the positive case for Eason Jordan and the notion that U.S. forces targeted 12 journalists for assassination. He doesn't prove it, he doesn't claim to have proven it, but he names the names of the journalists and lists the circumstances of their deaths.

Undoubtedly, this is the same information that prompted Mr. Jordan's remarks in Davos. I know nothing about the quality of Zed's information but it's worth looking at.

Now Jordan has already admitted to burying certain information on the atrocities of Saddam Hussein in order to protect his access. It's certainly possible that, at least in his mind, that's what he's doing now by backing off this story to the extent that he has.

It's hard to figure what would be worse; Jordan's making the allegations out of rumors and innuendo, or burying a story he knew or strongly believed to be true. He boxed himself by saying that the assassination of journalists was U.S. policy. If he knows that to be true he has the story of the century. If not, he's a skeevy, weaseling jackass and should start pulling his paycheck from Al-Jazeera immediately. In any case, bloviating in the way he did, in the forum that he used, with no offer of proof was the act of girl trying to get the attention of the cheerleader clique.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I got to Resonant Information via American Dinosaur and Cry Freedom.
