If they do, I have a pretty good idea of who bites it next. If Jordan is still alive 12 months from now, you can be pretty much certain his claim is a falsehood.

Looking at some of the film being shown, insurgents shooting, bombing the US Soldiers, killing innocent Iraqis!. Then it could have happened. After all, then they were the enemy. You can't be on both sides. You are either with US or against US.

to kind.... may this leftist POS and all his ilk burn in Hell. They are one with SATAN.

Who said he won't do just that?

"Fragging" in Viet Nam involved disaffected troops MURDERING their officers. I had a friend mistakenly killed when the target was someone else. It was never "in vogue", and its passing sure as hell isn't sad. What tripe!

Eason Jordan L.I.E.D. (Liberal Internal Enemies Device)

Charges should be brought. Criminals, like Eason Jordan, WILL NOT STOP. Domestic enemies are much harder to defeat than foreign enemies.

There has not been any real journalist around for years and years.

[ClancyJ]

Why initiate an investigation into bogus claims. The fact that there is an investigation will bring more media coverage and taint our soldiers.

I think we should be justly outraged that a media ghoul should, in addition to constantly promoting anti-American hatred, now accuse our soldiers of risking their lives in order to kill Americans.

This is like telling a lie and then treating it as the truth by giving it credibility.

Do US Troops Target Journalists in Iraq?

Only those anti-American Journalists from CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, NPR, BBC, etc. The rest of you are safe! ;-)

My brother had a CNN journalist walk up to him over there and he said "I am not talking to you and you know why."

I would hope so. Eason Jordan just thought he could get away with throwing that out there and smugly watching the ensuing s--t storm. He knew precisely what he was doing.

I think Mr. Eason needs to be summarily dismissed as a person of integrity and character. Obviously he does not support his own country, if he is willing to support such a wildly disgusting assertion.

I mean .. after all .. this was the same idiot who was running the CNN office in Iraq for 12 years - and hiding Saddam's horrible treatment of his own people. Surely, that would prove his comments about anything to be suspect.

Isn't this being reported on CBS???

Oh, that's right, CBS doesn't care about journalistic ethics. Nothing more important than protecting the old-boy network.

Just when I think I can't get any more disgusted...please, why do our soldiers have to take this kind of (insert very foul word/s here!)? It just makes my blood boil! I'd like to take that reporter and shake him 'til his teeth rattle.
