Geraldo, meet pink slip. Working for Fox isn't a vaccine against stupidity!

Geraldo says he's staying.

I suspect that if the commander of the 101st wants Geraldo to stay, he'll stay, no matter what "the Pentagon" says.

The troops like him, and he's a great cheerleader for this war.

And he's taking a hell of a lot more risk than the suits.

Well, I saw his line in the sand drawings last night and I too thought he crossed the line.

Very obvious, I might add.

Nice sentiment, but I doubt the commander of the 101st defies the Pentagon over a reporter.

I actually think these embedded reporters, including Geraldo, are a good thing. They report raw data and events from the front. The problem is when this data is gathered at some news desk, like Judy Woodruff's, where her and her liberal experts decided to act a filter to decide what their viewers see and hear.

I habe a question. Can anyone just ride along with the troops? Wouldn't someone in charge of these troops have noticed early on during the first day out that Geraldo was with them? And if he was NOT wanted why couldn't he have been sent back with the supply train early on?

Embedded or not, it just seems that someone would have had to have given permission for him to be with them. How many days has he been with them now? And only NOW he is a problem??? There have been more detailed maps on FOX than what he drew in the sand.

If they wanted him out why didn't send him back with the first returning supply train? You'd think they would gotten him out of there asap, instead of waiting days.....

I think that you're right. Geraldo is enthusiastic and very supportive. I find it hard to believe that what he said (the map in the dirt report) was that big a deal. [I could be wrong, though.]
