Wesley Clark, Ted Turner to sit on Board of Iraq Safety (Eason Jordan)

EX-CNN News boss Eason Jordan — ousted earlier this year after controversial remarks suggesting journalists killed in Iraq may have been targeted by the military — is hoping to leverage his years of experience working in war zones by launching a new security company, On The Money has learned.

Jordan has already lined up at least two bigwigs — CNN founder Ted Turner and ex-presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark — to sit on the board of his new company, according to a well-placed source.

The company is being called Iraq Safety, and aims to hire security types and journalists with experience covering wars to provide logistical and consultation services to companies operating in war zones, the source said.

The controversial Jordan, who had been the chief news executive at CNN, resigned in February after a furor erupted over comments he made at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in which he suggested journalists killed in Iraq were targeted by coalition forces.

I knew Ted Turner and Clark were friends, based on a story when Turner almost jumped Perle or someone....and Clark had to hold Ted Back! I'll see if I can find this story that occurred in Denver last year...that I remember.

I know it was in the parking lot....and that Mr. Turner was wanting to kick some ass....but who's ass was it? LOL!

Richard Perle himself.

It was written up on someones' blog (Atrios? Josh Marshall?) but I did a brief scan and can't find it anymore.

I thought it was pretty funny at the time.

Fisticuffs in the parking lot....!

n/t

Cause he really needed a ass-whompin'!

Now we have the movers and shakers...on with Jordan...how good is that?
