After this is over, take him to prison for treason. A reporter reports, Arnett is giving comfort to Iraqi leadership

"Whenever I gave a report (in 1991) of civilian casualties or civilian installations destroyed and casualties created, the Pentagon and Bush administration got very angry and called me traitor,"

Because that's what you are, you POS.

Giving the Iraqis false hope is only going to cost more Iraqi lives - that's blood on Arnett's hands in my mind.

It's pretty hopeless when you're even too anti-American for CNN.

As always, one must consider the source...

Arnett is only allowed in Baghdad because he is a proven Quisling.

He is only allowed to speak what his Iraqi censors allow him to say.

So, for AP to run such a story is a journalistic abomination and can serve no other purpose than to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

"Arnett also said the current U.S. invasion plan had failed and that American military strategists are now "trying to write another war plan."

Arnett is on distribution for CENTCOM war plans?

Three guesses why Arnett's been allowed to stay. And just more proof of how low CNN has sunk.

Doesn't this guy have a reputation for making up stories as he goes along? Seems to me I remember something about a sarin gas story and Vietnam and the US military and the reason why he is a "former" CNN reporter.

Oh, wait, this story covered that. Just shows you have to take everything this clown says with a grain of salt.

""Clearly, the American war plans misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces," Peter Arnett said"



CLEARLY, Mr. Arnett should have an opportunity to interview General Franks. *chuckling*

I think the work "clearly" should be dropped from the vocabulary of all journalists - maybe they wouldn't sound like idiots.

Considering what the Washington Post article says about the same thing, and MSNBC Brian Williams (who hates Rummy and the President) had a ret. Col. Jacobs on who with smugness described all the errors made by Rummy, must be a script.

Since all the newies are singing from the same songbook maybe this is another of the leftist orchestrated efforts to sow seeds of doubt. Could the newly Senator on the ARmed Services Committee be behind this new verse.

PINKO PETE is at it again. At least now he has a job with National Geographic chasing half naked women around the jungles when he is not writing propaganda.

What did Arnett not know and when did he not know it?

Of the current conflict, Arnett also said the current U.S. invasion plan had failed and that American military strategists are now "trying to write another war plan."

There simply is no precedent for the one-sidedness of this war. It is obvious that defeat is a drop-dead certainty.

So we should just cut our losses and go home.

We need to start a list of how many stories different reporters write that are wrong. Reporters that are shown to have a high rate of WRONG stories will lose credibility.

This is the same guy who aired the tailwind story. He is an America Hater. At least CNN had the sense to fire him after that, and trust the BBC to pick him up.

He is now reporting from the Iraqi capital for NBC.

Actually he is reporting for a subsidary of NBC; Namely: National Geographic.
