If that is true, then they did not target #13 here it seems to me. Dereliction in duty?

Yeah! What you said! Gettin' pretty tired of the slander and bullshit these self-important blowhards shriek...especially when they're overseas. They seem to think they're untouchable. Well, ask "Dan-the-Man" Blather.

Bring'em down out of their rarified air up there on Mount Olympus.

Eason Jordan admitted that what CNN reported out of Iraq before the war was exactly what Saddam Hussein told them to report out of Iraq. The man has no credibility, and his network CNN has no credibility as a serious news gathering organization.

[treeclimber]

Our troops have been called 'occupiers', 'part of the problem' and countless other things and now murderers...

The freedoms that this Eason Jordan enjoys comes from the sacrifices made on his behalf by those he so shamelessly denigrates.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Our troops only target the enemies of our country. :)

In light of how certain news organizations cooperate with terrorists to get in-action photos - I think the REVERSE is much closer to the truth.

In previous wars they would have been shot for treason or fighting out of uniform - as were the German soldiers dressed as American MP's in WWII.

Eason Jordon can get together with Dan Rather and go over their sources together.

How Dare He go to Treason Manor to Slander Our Troops.

(Is that anywhere near Gunpoint?)

I know we dropped a bomb on Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya's Baghdad station on the initial "shock and awe" day killing on guy from Al-Jazeera. I consider them enemy combatants though and applaud that action.

"Remember John Adam!"

Wasn't his son "Q" later elected President?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Isn't this the same Eason Jordan that wouldn't report the truth from Iraq? Yes it is! (Post 16 Thanks) How much, if any, credibility does this guy have. He, CNN and the rest of the MSM (save Foxnews) hate the United States and our military. This is libelous, treasonous and downright idiotic!

Sherman said this: "Reporters! I would shoot them but there would be despatches from hell before breakfast."

[fat city]

As a last note, I think that this article is a good pointer to the future of the news: average people, freely saying what they want, as they saw it, for anyone to see. To me, that is freedom of the press.

This crap may pass as "freedom of the press" in Switzerland, but it looks like tabloid quality slander from here.

[ichabod1]

I would LOVE to see somebody tarred and feathered.

[ichabod1]

What is that supposed to mean?

[King Prout]

I don't think JOHN ADAM survived his captivity among Jihadist terrorists.

If they are not ... they should

Problem with "targeting" them is they are harder to hit than rats in a junkyard.

Their eyes are more beady, they have darker fur, their teeth are not as bright, and there ARE places even rats will not go, or can't fit.

I say they should just wing 'em. Call it the "love tap of patriotism" or as R.Reagan's Sec.of State George Shultz used to do to new Diplomats.

He took them into his office, up to a globe and asked them to point to their country. They would point to Brazil, Mexico etc...

Shultz would say no I said point to YOUR country. And he would point to America.

The journal-rats don't seem to get that.

[BushisTheMan]

Is the weasel journalist who claimed the soldier shot a wounded terrorists still alive?

If so, this puke should shut the heck up 'cause if this reporter wasn't killed by the U.S. military yet, then the others don't have to worry.
