Remember how Jesse Jackson is trying to get into the battle zone around Iraq in order to check up on POW’s? Well, he’s also trying to find some missing reporters at their families’ behest. Just some more headline grabbing. Granted he’s had success in the past at securing the release of hostages, usually because the evil regimes enjoyed playing it up for big PR points, but what’s annoying is how Jesse saw fit to announce his new endeavor. What with looking for missing journalists, visiting POW’s, and having tea with Kofi Annan, it’s a wonder he has any time to advance civil rights or to cover up his role in helping the Chicago nightclub fire to occur.

Update! The reporters crossed into Jordan from Iraq today. No word yet on what role Jesse must have played in their release.
