CORRECTION re: Eason Jordan

I mentioned this fact too, and got my info from the Captain's Quarters blog. Here is a correction from the Captain regarding Eason Jordan's connection to the Davos Forum:

CQ Correction: Jordan Not WEF Board Member

I received two e-mails this morning in response to my characterization of Eason Jordan as a board member of the World Economic Forum, from CQ readers Alan Speakman and Gerry Ashley. Both questioned the post after double-checking my sources and expressing support for my work, so I took that quite seriously -- and found out that I had indeed mixed up the bio provided by the World Economic Forum for Eason Jordan.

Here's what the bio reads:
