I remember watching this worm's mug in Saudi during Desert Storm. Didn't think ugly could get any uglier - I was wrong.

. . .

Tom Rosenstiel, who runs the Project for Excellence in Journalism, said that given the past criticism of Arnett, "this is even more alarming or damaging for him. . . . Blurring the line between reporter and actor in the drama invites that same confusion and maybe even makes it worse."

Two members of Congress chided Arnett on Fox News. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) said the reporter's remarks -- including praising the Iraqi Information Ministry for "unfailing courtesy and cooperation" -- were "Kafkaesque" and "just crazy. Let's hope that he's being coerced." The ministry has expelled reporters for Fox, CNN and other Western news outlets.

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) told the network that Arnett's comments were "absurd."

A White House official said Arnett was "coming from a position of complete ignorance. He's never designed a war plan or implemented a war plan. His judgment is suspect. . . . For him to state that to the Iraqi people is, I'd suspect, a certain level of pandering."

He should be tried for treason and war crimes.

This is Arnett "two"!

The guy is a worm. he had nearly resurected himself after the CNN disaster but now he has done it again.

He believes he has support from the vast anti-war movement, but he will not be returning to the U.S. IMHO.

Passports are funny things!

I read somewhere on FR that Hillary is a friend of Peter's ... did anybody else read that ...??

If that's true - do you think she or x42 have got their fingers mixed up in this ...??

The reason I ask, is that Peter's statements are very similar to those which the dems are spouting here. Curious??

Arnett is just another media whore. They'd steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes for a good interview.

Problem is that soon, Baghdad will be crawling with G.I.'s, weapons at hand, and good memories. While they've been eating desert sand and dodging shells, he's been pandering to the enemy.

I'd say the fat boy is in trouble. Heheh

Lord, God,

Arnett has been a pleauge on our culture for far too long.

He already has hoof and mouth disease.

How about causing his tongue to fall out?

Or just removing him from public life to contemplate his navel lint for the rest of his life in a nice padded cell some where--like Siberia or Damascus.

Or maybe wandering around as a street person droolling and trying to preach in various empty parks--especially maybe in Canada or Alaska

Of course, if he's open to full confession and repentance to you and turning 180 degrees around to sanity in values and behavior--great.

Given the unlikelihood of that--please take whatever action your wisdom would dictate to get him thoroughly off the public stage the rest of his life.

Our welfare and survival would appreciate it. Besides, it would slug the globalists a good one to lose this stoole pidgeon/traitor.

Thanks for listening, Lord,
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Arnett has completely crossed the line, no matter how you slice it. He has pioneered a new level of treachery. Until now, anti-American journalists were content merely to serve as conduits for enemy propaganda. Until now, they were happy just to stick their microphones in the enemy's face and allow the enemy to spew their lies unchallenged. Arnett has outdone them all. He has surpassed the likes of Dan Rather, who went to Baghdad and personally interviewed Saddam. He has also surpassed Peter Jennings, which is no mean feat. Arnett, a reporter employed by an American company, has sat down in a studio and allowed himself to be interviewed by Iraq. Instead of interviewing the enemy, he has allowed himself to be interviewed BY the enemy, giving more "credibility" to the enemy's propaganda by parroting it himself. He might as well be an official of Saddam's information ministry. Maybe he's gunning for Baghdad Bob's job.

Arnett had better be careful over there in Baghdad. He'd better hope special forces don't put a red dot on his forehead. He has committed treason, and freedom of speech is no defense for what he's done. Freedom of speech protects dissenters here in CONUS, not in Baghdad. Arnett spewed his venom against the US in Baghdad, and the First Amendment does not protect him over there. He has violated the oath he made to the Constitution when he became a US citizen. What he's done over there makes him indistinguishable from the enemy.

Words fail to describe the obscenity of what he has done. He should make his treachery complete, quit National Geographic, and go to work for Al Jazeera.

Have at it. I zipped out four quick ones! Peter Arnett is not reporting. He is advising the enemy and working to strengthen the anti-US movement in the US; again.

I'd like to see him visit one of the Iraqi torture sites. Would they have let him in on Iraqi torture of the 4 US soldiers then found in a shallow grave?

I'll have to look to see if Howard Kurtz, media reporter, is the only Washington Post mention given to Arnett. Arnett's misdeed rates front page scorn.

He makes my blood boil. It seems quite obvious that Peter would prefer to stay in Bahgdad; let him.

I watched the interview and as disgusting as it was, ole Pete looked like a guy whose balls were in the gloved hands of the interviewer. He was talking fast, trying to be ingratiating, like a man on high on uppers trying to please an interrogator. Stupid dupe...

If Brad Sherman, a total liberal hack, criticizes Arnett you know it's bad.
