I do apologize for letting this story develop as much as it has without commenting. If you haven’t heard, Jordan — the same CNN news honcho who admitted CNN had deliberately downplayed Saddam’s barbarism in its pre-war coverage — allegedly claimed recently that it was American policy to kill journalists in Iraq. This, needless to say, is outrageous. If it’s true it’s outrageous and American officials should go to jail. Of course it’s almost certainly not true, in which case it is outrageous because Jordan freelanced a horrific charge with no evidence. Indeed, if Jordan thinks it is even remotely true he should have assigned countless CNN reporters to cover what would obviously be a huge story. Of course, Jordan and CNN say he was misunderstood. Maybe he was. Maybe he wasn’t. Michelle Malkin talked to Barney Frank who was there and he says he did say it.

And of course TKS has been on top of this for a while.

As I try to get back up to speed with the story, I’ll have more comments.
