That would be a shame, Bob Arnot did some great reporting from Iraq during the war. I was riveted one night when they had him reporting from the middle of a firefight. It was incredible, just his voice reporting what was happening moment by moment, I think it went on for about 1/2 an hour or so. It really gave me chills, as you could hear the big guns fireing above him, and he was helping a smaily caught in the middle hide with him in a ditch.

Maybe Fox should scoop him up!

My wife and I listened to that particular report. Riveting! There was a Cobra right over his head and when it would launch a missile Arnot would Freak out!

[Wright is right!]

"That would be a shame, Bob Arnot did some great reporting from Iraq during the war."

Arnot is a renaissance kinda guy. He is an MD, and they used to refer to him as Dr. Bob Arnot. He is also quite an accomplished pilot, with multi-engine, instrument, and turbine ratings. Takes a lot to rattle him.

For some reason, the NBC pipple seem to prefer Robert Bazell for their medical reports, although I find his style and reliance on cookie-cutter story templates very annoying. Arnot didn't used to do that. I also get annoyed at Tom Brokaw when he introduces Bazell as "Brazell." Tom has a number of speech problemos, so he's invented some crutches to help him thru words and phrases he has trouble saying. "Brazell" is one of them. He also calls attorneys "royers." And in introducing "NBC News In Depth," he always adds "tonight" as if that was the name of the segment, but it's a phrasing crutch. Once he tried saying NBC News In Depth WITHOUT the word "tonight" and he stumbled like a fool.

I really hate it that David Bloom passed away during his trip to Iraq. He had a very engaging way of reporting and was on the rise big time.
