Eason Jordon and the Military

I've held back on any comment regarding Eason Jordon's claim that the military was intentionally targeting journalists and that Jordon knew of 12 specific cases. But I have to say something because I can't shake one particular thought:

The military should step up and remove any CNN reporters from Iraq and Afghanistan right away. CNN would lose access to front line information and the military could simply say that it was being done to "protect" the journalists because if Eason Jordon's information is correct then they could be in danger (wink wink). The CNN correspondents would be barred from any military bases or any areas in the world where the military is operating for their own protection. This CNN embargo would last until after a full investigation (including the Davos tape) or until Eason Jordon produces the evidence he claims to have.

My guess is that is going to end very ugly for Eason Jordon.
