They will be...the only reason CNN scooped this, is no doubt retribution for John Gibson of FOX for outing their long time ally, Benedict Arnett.

That was just an example of his latest info leak. He always like to sneak in little hints of position and timing.

He gave the "Peace" sign when he was saying hi to his family back home...It wont be long until he sees them again i guess. Fox should apologize PROFUSELY after they jumped all over the Arnett story

Note to Rupert Murdoch:

I stopped watching Fox when you hired Geraldo Rivera, and I won't be turning it on again until you fire his sorry @ss.

Geraldo is not an anti-American traitor like Peter Arnett, but he IS a publicity-seeking, loudmouthed prima donna, and I was wondering just how long it would take him to give away strategic information that might endanger US troops and operational movements.

Obviously, with Geraldo's big mouth, not that long at all.

Back to Afghanistan, Geraldo.

I saw this last night and there he was drawing a map in the sand, showing his unit's position and indicating where they were moving to. I immediately e-mailed Fox News and pitched a fit! I hope everyone else that saw this did the same.

There was a discussion on this last night. He was drawing what amounted to a map in the sand of their position and their movements.

There is no comparison between Arnett and Geraldo. Geraldo has been very pro US, pro mission. Unfortunately he has been too eagar to "scoop" the story. Arnett is anti-American and pro-Saddam. Big difference.

Geraldo and Arnett in one day. This is to good to be true !

It's hard to lump the two in the same basket. Arnett is truly anti-American. Geraldo just gets caught up in the moment and loses his judgement. Arnett's a traitor and Geraldo is an over-anxious teenager that wants to tell everything he knows. Not a good combination for the position he's been put in.

So? Fox news should hold themselves to the same standards as they hold other networks and when Geraldo cant contain himself with information that is secret, he is helping the enemy just as much as Arnett is. Geraldo should apologize and Fox News should apologize to the viewers for risking our soliders with such a prima donna.
