As best we can figure out, Jordan didn’t “clarify” his remarks. He realized he couldn’t defend them. There is a large difference.

But what’s truly side-splitting hilarious about actus’ attempts to spin things Eason Jordan’s way is that all of actus’ wishful thinking isn’t matched by the actions of Eason Jordan and CNN. They figured out that the tape wasn’t going to help them, its funny that actus can’t figure this out.

Which time? He’s made this assertion before. THis time, US Senators were there, and along with braver reporter or three, he was taken to task.

‘Again, actus, that simply doesn’t match Jordan’s initial statements, his knowledge of the meaning of the term and his past statements. But you just keep on trying to spin his way out of this.’

I know. I think his original statemenst were wrong and then clarified.

‘For several reasons, first of all, Jordan knows that isn’t the common meaning of the terms he is using. ‘

Targetting means to aim at. I know its ambiguous. I think its ‘clear’ from the clarifications. He wanted to distinguish from collateral damage, to a situation where they are being shot at as targets, not bystanders that happen to get hit.

No, actus, it is not “clear” at all. For several reasons, first of all, Jordan knows that isn’t the common meaning of the terms he is using. Secondly, he has made other comments consistent with the interpretation we are making here.

Note To Eason Jordan: Chill, Dude, You’re Freakin
You know what it’s like – you’ve had one: that friend, the life of the party, that every-so-charming bud that one day just goes nucking *FUTZ* in front of everybody important.

And everybody important turns to you with accusing eyes and says, “Hey…

CNN’s scandal makes it clear that NO name in news can be trusted implicitly, but that we all must do as the Apostle Paul enjoined Christians to do: “Test everything. Hold on to the good.”
