Release the freakin' tape already

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Let's get this Eason Jordan stuff over with. Malkin's post today quotes from Glenn Garvin of the Miami Herald:

'He was going on and on about it,' recalled [Rony] Abovitz. 'My first thought was, gee, have I been missing something? And I stood up and asked, 'Is this documented? And if so, why hasn't it been on the cover of Time magazine? Because if it's true, it's much bigger than [U.S. military abuses at] the Abu Ghraib prison.'...

Jordan was traveling Wednesday and could not be reached for comment, but a CNN spokeswoman said he used the word 'targeted' only to mean that the reporters had been fired on by U.S. troops who thought they were enemy combatants.

'Mr. Jordan emphatically does not believe that the U.S. military intended to kill journalists and believes these accidents to be cases of mistaken identity,' the spokeswoman said.

Oh, so now he's changing his story being entirely consistent with his earlier explanation? What a putz.

And whattya know, not only is the spokesperson's explanation consistent with his earlier explanation, it's also consistent with the truth.

But Malkin is determined to ride this horse as far as it will take her. Oh, and not one word about Propagannon.

Quite the media watchdog, Michelle.

Welcome: Daou Report! I must say I'm flattered. Flattered enough to add the Daou Report to my Nonblogroll? Why, yes indeed.
