Lucianne.com just put up the headline that Pete Arnett has been fired by MSNBC. How many networks can you be fired from before you're considered unreliable?

Heh. Someone at CNN holds a grudge.
Couldn't happen to a better "reporter".

Seeing the transcript in its intirety sure does highlight just how treasonous his remarks were.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Firing him is not enough. He needs to be arrested and tried for treason. If I were him, I'd stay in Baghdad and work for the Iraqi Information Ministry and then die with "honor" when the regime falls. I don't think he'll be welcome anywhere else.

If Arnett got fired for this, Jennings should have been long gone. I don't see the difference.

Will the French Ministry of Information be hiring Arnett very soon?
He could be a useful tool to them, just like he was for the Iraqis.

I am digging around in Arnett's past. Guess what pivotal quote in Viet Nam was "heard" by Peter Arnett?
"It became necessary to destroy the town (BanTre) in order to save it."
This quote, which was alledgedly made by an Air Force Major Chester L. Brown to Peter Arnett was one of the most effective bits of anti war propaganda to come out of the Viet Nam conflict.
The problem is, "Major Brown" may not have said it at all, it was probably created out of whole cloth by Peter Arnett even back then!
Here is some source material, go about 80% down the link, it is partially in Vietnamese and partially in English.

We need to track down this "Major Brown" quote, if this was one of traitor Benedict Arnett's first "Big Lies", that will be important to know today. Has Arnett been an America hating mole since the 60s?
I read elsewhere his mentor was an Australian communist and virulent America hating reporter named ?Burchett?, this should also be tracked down.
