La Shawn Barber has a good link-roundup on the Eason Jordan blogswarm. It's a well-deserved swarming and an important issue. Jordan is clearly an irresponsible buffoon.

Roger L. Simon suggests that Jordan is either: 1 right. 2. delusional, or 3. he is lying. I say he is 4. Sucking Up. That's something he's very good at. Eason Jordan is a sort of higher level behind the scenes Larry King - who gives offense and in return gets the best guests. Jordan was telling the international audience what they wanted to hear so they'd think kindly of him and him team. After all, the stuff he's been running around saying (this is not a one-time event) is sure to ingratiate him and they with great numbers outside US borders. Selling out your country to get the story is an old, old tale in the history of the press.

Jordan deserves to be bitten on the ass for this. Hard.
