Sen. Dodd On Imus: "Davos Ought To Release The Tapes"

By The MinuteMan

Se. Chris Dodd appeared on the Imus in the Morning show and was asked about the Eason Jordan/Davos controversy.

Sen. Dodd said that "Davos ought to release the tapes". He then went on to say that Eason Jordan himself ought to support the release of the tapes in order to defend himself, speculating that Eason Jordan's job was, or might be, "on the line".

Sen. Dodd broadly confirmed the version of events that seems to have emerged (at least as I understand it): Jordan made some "outrageous" remarks about the Pentagon targeting reporters, Barney Franks called him on it, and Jordan backpedaled for the next fifteen minutes.

Sen. Dodd thought the tapes would clear up the extent to which Jordan backpedaled, and give a sense of just how successful that backpedaling effort was.

[A brief note: I heard this on the radio while driving; folks who TiVo'ed the MSNBC broadcast will have a more complete version. That said, the phrases in quotes are verbatim].

Now, a quick quip - as to the question of why, if the "targeting reporters" allegation is true, CNN has not done a story on it, surely the answer is obvious - they are still reporting under Baghdad Rules.
