Does anyone have a link to the audio of Arnett's statement? I have this really great voice analysis software that analyzes truthfulness, deception, uncertainty, inaccuracy etc., and I would love to analyze these statements.

Surely a squad of lawyers can find some fatal flaw in Arnett's Naturalization Papers. I think he would be much happier to return to being a citizen of New Zealand, and so would we.

Who says he would automatically get back his New Zealand citizenship (I know it has a leftist peacenick government). He could be left as a person with no citizenship anywhere.

Arnett is not just a traitor, he is a traitor that wants to bring down President Bush like the rest of his commie leftist buddies in the media.

This writer has barely begun exposing the sins of this POS!

I am Viet Nam vet with a VERY long memory and can tell you first hand that his recent exploits are only the last in a LONG line of such "SINS"!

And if they can't charge him with treason. Or at least make him use the Ezra Pound-I-am-crazy-to-like-the-facist defense.

I'm too young for Vietnam where he got his Pukelitzer. I remember him in the first Gulf War, though, making me sick with his defense of Iraq's sociopath.
