Initially, I referred to Casey Jordan, CNN criminologist-analyst, with "he" and "him" and "his", as if Casey were some kind of man. It was pointed out to me that a video still purporting to be the person playing Casey Jordan, criminologist-analyst on the CNN Sniperfest show, was resident on CNN's website:

http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/South/10/22/sniper.letter

—and that this image demonstrated the possibility that Jordan was in fact some kind of a woman.

While jktarot.com remains unconvinced, on the basis of this clearly ambiguous evidence, regarding the true gender of this player in the drama, we have asked Jordan to affirm to us exactly what gender he or she is, or at least claims to be in her role as CNN criminologist-analyst. By this perhaps any confusion regarding this question may at least be cleared up to his or her satisfaction. On the other hand, we are aware that many readers will likely view Jordan's satisfaction regarding this, or any other matter, as a deeply irrelevant consideration—especially in light of her Tarotic performance in Sniperfest. And to those readers, jktarot.com offers its heart-felt and sincere regrets for this minor detour in your perusal of our story.

Back to where you were.
