Not only a major-league a**hole, but having a Hall of Fame caliber career.
He lives amongst the folk of South Pomfret, which I think Pomfret means 'potato ass' in French.
Well it's beginning to look like he is the Republican's poster boy for left wing news media bias. He has a resume a mile long of jobs with left wing organizations and yet he is found in MSM airwaves and print pooping all over the Bush administration, the military and apple pie while calling himself a military intelligence analyst.
The left will leave no stone unturned in their quest to villify the Christian right.
A complete pile of excrement! thats who he is.
WOODSTOCK!
<< Mr. Arkin served in the U.S. Army from 1974-1978, and was an assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence of the US Commander Berlin. He was engaged in a number of covert intelligence collection projects and was the primary intelligence analyst for the West Berlin command. >>
Arkin reminds me of a person I knew a long time ago.He couldn't say anything good about American soldiers either,even though he was one.
I trust Hewitt will also take on vicious Republican smears of retired generals who have voiced criticism of the war efforts.

William Ardin tried to obtain Russian nuclear bomb
LONDON, July 25 (Reuters) - Environmental group Greenpeace
said on Friday it had tried to obtain a nuclear warhead from a Soviet army
officer at the end of the Cold War.
But the plan to take possession of the nuclear bomb in East Germany in 1991
fell through when the officer, who had sought payment of $250,000, was posted
away from the area after a security shake-up, a Greenpeace spokesman said.
The decision to try to get hold of a nuclear warhead was taken to highlight
the danger of ``loose nukes'' as the Soviet Union began to break up.
The spokesman defended the action despite its dangers, saying Greenpeace
wanted to highlight major environmental problems.
The United States and Russia still hold 12,800 nuclear warheads, and with
India and Pakistan emerging as nuclear weapons states, ``It is clear the
problem is not being dealt with by the politicians,'' he said.
Greenpeace had been contacted by the Soviet officer, and the former head of
Greenpeace's Disarmament Research Unit, William Arkin, had corresponded with
him with a view to getting hold of the device.
``It would have been the biggest nuclear event since Hiroshima,'' Arkin was
quoted as saying in Saturday's edition of The Independent newspaper.
``We planned to line up a scientific team to verify the bomb's authenticity,
and then we were going to unveil it in front of the world's media to show them
that loose nukes were a problem, that disarmament was necessary and that
controls on existing weapons needed to be tightened up, said Arkin, a former
U.S. army intelligence officer.
``Then we were going to say to the Russians: 'Here's your bomb. Come and get
it,''' he said.

Justin Raimondo likes Arkin. 'DIRTY TRICKS, REVISITED WILLIAM ARKIN TARGETED BY U.S. GOVT?'
My final assessment of William Arkin;He is a frustrated writer who,while in the military felt the aftermath of Vietnam backlash against the troops,and is jealous now of the way troops are treated now.If he's a qualified military analyst,I'm a three eyed Kryptonian baboon!Finally the "gentleman" can't handle the easiest question,as demostrated in his various interviews.Other than that,he's probably a nice guy.
