...that he believed several journalists who were killed by coalition forces had been targeted.

I suppose he meant the following examples:

• Al-Jazeera
• Ramadi Palestine Hotel
• CNN reporters

He tried to clarify his remarks as:

"I never meant to imply U.S. forces acted with ill intent when U.S. forces accidentally killed journalists, and I apologize to anyone who thought I said or believed otherwise," Jordan said in a memo to fellow staff members at CNN.

The thought police had a different view on his resignation:

"This is a victory for every soldier who has honorably served this nation. To you we devote this victory."

Of course, those who started this illegal war, lied about it, participated in the crimes at Ahu Gharib and elsewhere, leveled Fallujah, shot up unarmed women and children, and the countless other war criminals (in uniform and out) are not included. But you cannot mention these thoughts as they are not safe.
