Blckfive asks for our help
Hi MilBlogs and Friends-
Eason Jordan, the Chief News Executive of CNN recently made statements
at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he accused American
servicemen of intentionally targeting and killing journalists in Iraq.
These are serious charges that should not have been made without
supporting evidence, which he did not provide.
American servicemen and women are risking their lives daily and it is
wholly inappropriate for a man of his stature and influence to make
baseless claims in front of an international audience. As an
experienced journalist, he fully understands the impact of his words
and the effects on his audience. Mr. Jordan has a past history of
making such statements.
I would request that you take a look at this issue which I believe the
MilBloggers and their supporters would have an interest in helping.
Easongate ( http://www.easongate.com ) has been created by some former
military men to gather signatures and engage CNN in order to create
change in
irresponsible media.
Our hope is that CNN will launch an investigation into Mr. Jordan's
past and recent history, and take appropriate action. We hope to
provide the means for the public to place pressure on CNN to act.
We need your help.
Please forward the EasonGate Petition (
http://gogman.is-a-geek.com/Easongate_Petition/sign.asp
) to your readers. Conservatively, we need 100,000 signatures to make
attract the attention of CNN's advertisers.
Any help is appreciated. We've got a lot of things in the works to
move this issue ahead in the media. Also, NZ Bear is listing the
blogs that refer to EasonGate -
http://www.truthlaidbear.com/easongate.php .
Be sure to send me a link if you write about EasonGate.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
Matt

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Claims Credit For Failed Assassination Attempt On Shiite Leader Abdel Aziz al-Hakim: "
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terrorist group, al-Qaida in Iraq formerly Tawhid and Jihad, has claimed credit for the failed assassination attempt on top Shiite leader Abdel Aziz al-Hakim that killed 15 and wounded 50. The statement was posted to an internet website.
The group of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed responsibility Tuesday for the assassination attempt against the leader of Iraq's largest Shiite Muslim party that killed and wounded dozens of people."On Monday morning, one of the lions of the martyrdom seekers brigades, belonging to the military wing of al-Qaida in Iraq launched an attack in order to wipe out one of the symbols of treason for the Americans," the statement said.
It added that "We tell you Hakim that if one arrow missed you we have many more arrows."
