Two weeks ago, two producers working for Fox News in Amman, Jordan resigned in protest of the network's coverage.

They went on to write "Not only are you an instrument of the Bush White House, and Israeli propaganda, you are war mongers with no sense of decency, nor professionalism."
One of the two authors of that letter joins us on the line from Amman, Jordan.
