WSJ.com - 'Easongate'

Here's a defense of Eason Jordan by someone who attended the World Economic Forum's panel discussion where Mr. Jordan spoke. He believes the comments have been taken out of context and flames of an awkward statement were fanned by others in attendance:

"By this point, one could almost see the wheels of Mr. Jordan's mind spinning, slowly: 'How am I going to get out of this one?' But Mr. Frank and others kept demanding specifics. Mr. Jordan replied that 'there are people who believe there are people in the military' who have it out for journalists. He also recounted a story of a reporter who'd been sent to the back of the line at a checkpoint outside of Baghdad's Green Zone, apparently because the soldier had been unhappy with the reporter's dispatches."

I guess my only comment is, perhaps 'there are people in journalism' who have it out for the military as well.
