A Journalist Targeted for Death
Terrorists in Iraq laid in wait for Abdul Hussein Khazal al-Basri, a correspondent of Al-Hurra ("The Free"). Al -Hurra was funded by the United States to "cut through the hateful propaganda that fills the airwaves in the Muslim world."
The journalist's 3 year old son was with him and was killed as well.
CNN reports this news on its web site because it is actual news, it actually happened. CNN didn't report that the US military targeted and killed journalists because it wasn't news, it never happened. For the CNN executive Eason Jordan, to announce, as he did, that the US troops behave like the terrorists in the above story and then not back up his words with stories (like CNN did with the above story), proves that Jordan's words are slander, not fact.
