I read the transcript and yes, I was outraged by it. Does that mean I think he should be fired ? No. So long as we have the similar crap coming from the rest of our talking heads.

Reading the transcript, if in fact it was the entire transcript, is not the same as seeing the actual interview. In my opinion, his mannerisms in the interview were very sympathetic to the Iraqi regime.

As far as you saying in a post that I just read by you that you didn't see anything wrong in what he said, let me ask you this:

#1, How do you suppose he is correct in saying that our first war plan failed and that our generals are now taking a week off to rewrite the war plan? He couldn't possibly know if ANY war plan failed because he hasn't seen any war plans.

#2, How could he be correct in saying that we are taking a week off? He couldn't possibly "know" that and there is absolutely no evidence to back up what he said - in fact, there is an abundance of evidence all over the tv from the embedded reporters that he is absolutely wrong.

#3, He took credit for being responsible for the anti-war movement in the U.S by his broadcasting the civilians that are killed by the coalition attacks. How could he possibly "know" that any of the coalition attacks have killed any civilians in Iraq? And as much as he likes to think he is responsible for any anti-war movement in the US, those started well before Peter started broadcasting anything at all about civilian casualities the he claims were from coalition attacks. The coalition wasn't attacking anything when the anti-war movement began in this country.

As far as his firing being censorship, the government is not who shut him up, his employer was. That is not censorship.
