CNN chief news executive, Eason Jordan, accuses U.S. Troops of torturing Journalists

Recently CNN chief news executive, Eason Jordan, created a firestorm with remarks he made in at the World Economic Forum at Davos Switzerland. At a session—ironically titled “Will Democracy Survive the Media?”—Eason Jordan “asserted that he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted”. Eason Jordan subsequently tried to backpedal after he was challenged by U.S. Congressman Barney Frank (D).


Now it develops that the same guy who accused U.S. troops of targeting jounalists in Iraq was also accusing U.S. Troops of torturing Journalists in November:

'Actions speak louder than words. The reality is that at least 10 journalists have been killed by the US military, and according to reports I believe to be true journalists have been arrested and tortured by US forces,' Mr Jordan told an audience of news executives at the News Xchange conference in Portugal.
