The way everybody on the other threads were talking, I thought maybe he made one minor comment that could be taken out of context. But then I read this and my God what sick pig.
If they can take that American Taliban person to jail for fighting with the Taliban then Arnett should be charged and tried too!!! Doesn't this ba$tard know what this kind of stuff can do to the morale of the troops! The idiot's comments may give the Iraqis the thought that their tactics are winning and thus, it can prolong the war for Christ sakes! Therefore he is risking the American and British (and those embedded Canadian troops) lives! I just can't believe that someone could be so sick as to say stuff like this especially when they have a "duty" to be independent.
The stupid thing is that the press will focus on this more than the actual war where we have been making tremendous progress over the last 48 hours.

When among friends it easy to speak your mind!!!
The whole thing did seem unreal. Almost like he was an actor speaking lines in some bad play which was based on some badly written fiction.
If the stations weren't brave enough to sever ties with Arnett, they could easily have insisted he take a long leave to spend time with a psychiatrist.
