"I agree but he has been censored."

That is ridiculous! It is my understanding that it is only censorship when it comes from the government. He still has the right to spew his anti-American crap. He does NOT have a right to a national platform in which to do it! And given the fact that he NOT in the United States at this time, I'm not even sure how much right he actually has on enemy soil to bad mouth the U.S. and, in my opinion, give aid and comfort to the enemy. Either way, Americans have the right to do exactly what we did. WE don't want to hear this crap when our troops are over there and at risk. National Geographic and NBC/MSNBC are part of the free market economy. We the people and THEIR response to their subscribers have everything to do with their success or failure, which is as it should be.

Personally, I think its dangerous for us to be cheering the firing of a reporter for the reason of speaking his mind. I can see the argument that he should never of agreed to do the interview but our cheering should be based on that and not on what he said.
