Why is everyone ragging on Geraldo. I think he's done a great job. So what if he's full of bravado, he stands out from the rest on the pack and the troops seem to like him. If he really did what they say he did, and it seems very weird to me that he did...after all, he's been doing this for a long time, then he's getting the punishment. But I still don't know what everyone hates him for this war coverage.

many of us, myself included, saw him do this.

drudge has expanded his overline, advancing the story beyond the cnn report: "DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE: U.S. military expels FOX NEWS CHANNEL's Geraldo Rivera from Iraq after violating rule; giving away crucial details of future military operations during live broadcast... Rivera drew a map in the sand indicating the position where the unit which he was embedded with was located, where they were going... Members of the 101st Airborne Division will escort Rivera to the border with Kuwait.... Developing... " his mention of the maps in the sand -- there were several times he did this that i saw -- goes beyond trhe cnn report.

I've been liking Geraldo too. Especially since he said that he was wrong for protesting Vietnam. Hell, I know he's a prima donna. But I think it works for him. I was surprised at how specific he was being about the location of his unit last night. But let's not put him in the same class with Arnett. Two different kettles of fish entirely. I expect that after tossing the leftist Christian Science Monitor for doing the same thing, they HAD to toss Geraldo. My question remains though, have they tossed Al-Jazeera?

He did, I saw it, I commented to my wife that he would be gone within a week, I posted here what he did, I didn't expect it to be this fast. I liked his cheerleading of the troops, but I'm questionning it big time - if he cared about them like he acts like he wouldn't have drawn their gameplan out in the sand like he did.

Ditto. His "sand-illstrator" wasn't anymore detailed than some of the maps posted here on FreeRepublic. For example: here

And speaking of Geraldo... he is reporting as I write.
