Veteran reporter Geraldo Rivera, a correspondent for Fox News, is being removed from Iraq by the U.S. military for reporting Western troop movements in the war, the Pentagon said on Monday.

"He was with a (U.S.) military unit in the field and the commander felt that he had compromised operational information by reporting the position and movements of troops," Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told Reuters.

"The commander thought it best to get the reporter out of his battle space and we understand he is being removed from Iraq," Whitman said.

Well, this is most interesting. Named sources and everything.

This will be something to watch, as it wasn't only Geraldo outright naming MSNBC as the source of the lie, and calling it an outright lie, but David Asman back in studio.

Yes, something to watch.

Watch..this will be the FIRST question at the DoD briefing today, and Rummy will take out a pistol and shoot the reporter who asks it?

Reuters. Aren't they the ones that banned the word "terrorist" from their reports stating that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter?
