Knaves:

Newspaper Guild President Linda Foley, for reviving a false — and very damaging — theory.

The Washington Times
Opinion/Editorial

Miss Foley, meet former CNN executive Eason Jordan. At a May 13 meeting in St. Louis of the Newspaper Guild, Miss Foley said, "Journalists, by the way, are not just being targeted verbally or politically. They are also being targeted for real in places like Iraq. What outrages me as a representative of journalists is that there's not more outrage about the number, and the brutality, and the cavalier nature of the U.S. military toward the killing of journalists in Iraq."

Ah, yes — where's the outrage? Perhaps it's because there is no evidence that the military is intentionally targeting journalists.

Miss Foley obviously doesn't remember Mr. Jordan, who put forward the same notion at a conference in Switzerland. The ensuing controversy cost Mr. Jordan his job at CNN. Will a similar fate befall her?

Miss Foley has gone well beyond the boundary crossed by Mr. Jordan. Last month, she sent a letter to the White House calling upon it to pursue the "worldwide speculation that the U.S. military targets journalists and the media."

The burden of proof rests on those peddling such ridiculous theories.

For further endangering U.S. troops, Miss Foley is the Knave of the week.
