I suspect this is a quid pro quo. Iraq threw the CNN reporter out of Baghdad and Peter obliged with this interview.

That is a very intriguing idea.

Based on the comments attributed to Arnett on this thread, and how his firing from CNN derailed his career for some years, I do believe you're correct that this is gratuitous slandering by Arnett as a thank you to Iraq.

Arnett has been making snide remarks about CNN while he was in Baghdad. Bragging too that the CNN reporter was thrown out of the country but he's still there.

Just heard on several stations that Arnett's been fired from National Geographic and NBC.

Now we have to get that lousy professor from Columbia fired.
