This is about the best write up I've seen on this amoral disgusting piece of news filth.
Excerpt:
Having personally witnessed the fact that his own employees were, in the pursuit of his business, being ruthlessly tortured by a remorseless and pitiless regime, Jordan did what any good journalist would do: he spoke truth to power, comforted the inflicted, inflicted the comfortable, removed his bureau from Baghdad and ordered his reporters to report the truth about the Iraqi regime to Americans and the rest of the world.

Just kidding! If we were to believe the fairy-tales that float out the most prestigious journalism schools, that is what would have happened. But this was CNN, and telling the truth was not the highest priority. Instead, Jordan did what he had to do to maintain "access" to a murdering band of fascists so that he could be competitive and still deliver the "story," never mind that the resulting story was so much lies and tissue.

There's some tongue n' cheek but mostly it's outrage peeling off the page.

Update: Captains Quarters has some great updates on what he's calling Eason's Fables.
Also, Hugh Hewitt was able to interview Forumblog's Rony Arbovitz (be sure to read this).
