CNN Co-founder - Jordon Got Guys Killed

Johnny Dollar has a video and transcript of Reese Schonfeld, a co-founder of CNN, claiming that Eason Jordon leaked information to the CIA that resulted in the deaths of two individuals. It's not really clear what he's talking about but instead of defending Jordan, Schonfeld's original intent, he winds up creating a new controversy.

SCHONFELD: I'm not sure that he bragged about it. I hope he was just trying to say we have to make hard choices in our life. I take issue on that on another thing. I think he wound up, he leaked some information to the CIA that I think wound up getting a couple of people killed. He leaked it into Amman, and if there's ever been a sieve getting stuff back to Baghdad, it's Amman. And the Jordanese I'm sure let Hussein know what he leaked, and the guys he was talking about were killed.

DOOCY: You're burying the lead here, Reese. Tell us that story real fast. How he got a couple of guys killed.

SCHONFELD: Well, he said, if you remember that piece, that he then informed the CIA about the dangerous thing that he couldn't report. And they told the CIA in Amman. Now I believe that Amman is a sieve, that anything you say there to anybody is going to sneak back to Baghdad, and that those guys that he was talking about were later picked up and killed. And my guess, and this is all guess, and that's why I wasn't trying to make too much of a lead of it, that the word was leaked from Amman from some Hussein supporters back to Iraq, and they picked up the guys and they said here they are. And they were killed.


Absolutely stunning! Stand by for the backpeddling on this one and stonewalling from CNN.
