From FOX News Analyst to “Torture-Warden”: The Evolution of Jonathan Idema By Mike Whitney (Al-Jazeerah, July 25, 2004)

 

Mr Whitney:

It was longtime business partner and television Producer Gary Scurka personally and National Geographic Television, his Employer at the time who they both duped that started all of this by bringing Idema into Afghanistan under FALSE pretenses...

Fox News did not create Idema..in fact they fired him as soon as they bserved his bizarre behavior and discovered what he was really in Afghanistan for...Himself and $$$...I know most of this first hand because I was the subject of the National Geographic Explorer cover story that Scurka and Idema used to gain access to Afghanistan in the first place..

A Response from Mike Whitney to the above Ed Artis comments

Dear Mr Artis,

I never said that "FOX news created Idema", simply that he was employed by FOX as an analyst.

Fact!

It is also a fact that Idema is suing FOX for using a video of terrorist camps that he made while serving in Afghanistan.

The corporate chieftains at FOX are apparently more skilled at "ripping people off" than even Idema. Quite an accomplishment, don't you think?
