His "career" is over.

March 31 -- Peter Arnett apologizes for the interview he gave to Iraqi TV, saying he made a "stupid misjudgement."

Unfortunately the damage has already been done. I'm looking for something a bit more than this. I'm not going to jump on the "let's shoot him up with a firing squad" bandwagon, but this guy has got to be made to face some serious consequences for what he did. This is a man conducting what many, myself included, would characterize as treasonable actions -- simply because he's a media whore.
No, I won't jump on the firing squad bandwagon -- I say leave him to the Iraqis he loves so much. And, perhaps, accidentally let a communique slip into Iraqi hands indicating he's a United States spy. I'm sure Mr. Arnett would have no objection to being tried in Iraq. After all, one man's torture chamber is another man's comfortable sauna, right?
Personally, I'd like to barf on him, and then take it from there.

The "story" became Peter Arnett. I just quit watching.

Remember this little tidbit - I read it yesterday:
Peter Arnett: Arnett had the last laugh on CNN, which did not renew the veteran war correspondent's contract not long ago in a cost-cutting measure. In Baghdad to do documentary work for National Geographic's cable channel, he was drafted to do some spot news reporting for MSNBC. When the first missiles and bombs struck the Iraqi capital, Arnett broke the news -- beating CNN -- and has been all over not only MSNBC but NBC as well. And when CNN's Nic Robertson and his crew were kicked out of the city, he became the most familiar face reporting from Baghdad. ``I do get perverse pleasure out of it,'' he said earlier this week. ``CNN did dump me, I thought unfairly.''
Is he still getting preverse pleasure out of it! hahahaha
He better swim to that little isl in the pacific, and not come back here!
