Here are
some links about the story.
Please note some inaccuracies about your claim:
1)It wasn't just our TV reporters. Unless you consider Al-Jazeera part of the US media.
2) Jordan (the CNN "reporter") was actually a news executive and not a journalist.
3)According to the following, Jordan didn't say it was just US troops doing this, but troops "from both sides":
4)So without a transcript of this forum to go by, the problem of taking the quote by Jordan out of context is easy to manipulate.On top of that, we don't have an exact quote of what he actually did say.
5)I'm not defending his actions, just trying to make sure that before we start burning him at the stake, we check to make sure he's a witch first ("He turned me into a newt" doesn't count)
