You know a story has begun to boil when it gets a "gate" attached to its name. Well folks, welcome to "Easongate":

Just got off the phone with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who spoke with me about Easongate. Rep. Frank was on the panel at Davos.

Rep. Frank said Eason Jordan did assert that there was deliberate targeting of journalists by the U.S. military. After Jordan made the statement, Rep. Frank said he immediately "expressed deep skepticism." Jordan backed off (slightly), Rep. Frank said, "explaining that he wasn't saying it was the policy of the American military to target journalists, but that there may have been individual cases where they were targeted by younger personnel who were not properly disciplined."

La Shawn Barber has a nice roundup of the various goings-on surrounding this very public case of "foot-in-mouth" disease. Go get 'em folks!
