Eason Jordan flees the scene

The Posse's patron saint Roger L. Simon is all over the Eason Jordan affair.

Powerline also weighs in and Captain Ed takes time away from blogging about this to blog about it some more (remind us never to steal strawberries on his ship).

All of this internet noise is not without result:  Howard Kurtz has dropped into a protective crouch while the New York Sun clearly scents blood.

What can the humble Posse add to all of this reportage and insight?

Only that we predicted it last week.

Jordan and CNN are not about to alienate their American audience by making open attacks on the military.

Jordan committed a classic gaffe: he accidentally said what he really believed in front of a large audience that included people who didn't agree with him.

All the smoke screens, "clarifications" and denials cannot erase this - even if the kind folks at Davos refuse to release the tapes.

There is no conspiracy to color the news - the all-pervasive liberal bias of CNN's employees does that quite well.

Jordan is learning the hard way what CBS discovered earlier this year: the memory hole is sealed.  Ten thousand blogs have sealed it up.

Simply calling up one's cronies at the Washington Post and relying on the Old Boys Network to cover for you won't make a damaging admission go away.

Jordan needs to come forward and demand the release of the tapes himself - or resign in disgrace.

The ultimate hypocrisy is a newsman hiding his own remarks in an open forum from the public.

The people have a right to know.  Jordan should provide proof, or resign.

He won't, thank goodness, providing months of fodder for blogs like ours.
