From your article:

After early reports indicated that Rivera would be expelled from the Army unit he was traveling with, Fox and the Pentagon agreed that he would leave on his own, without being officially sanctioned.

Now I'm really confused.

I am sure I am butchering this expression but at this point the whole Geraldo thing is reduced to "Do you want to believe me or your own lying eyes?"

I don't know...in that news article, it cites the Pentagon as telling CNN that the Pentagon and FNN had come to an agreement. I find it hard, almost implausable to believe that that is what and how it happened...

If the troops would have been endangered by Geraldo do not like him, or if they feel endangered by him, he would be gone. If the local commander feels endangered by him, he would be gone. First they would disable his equipment. If he did not obey a request to leave, he would have an accident.

My take on all this is that someone outside the 101st has in in for Geraldo -- possibly for a legitimate reason -- but the people he's with like him.

I'm confused too...

Nevertheless, as the day went on, Fox News executives pleaded with Pentagon officials to not expel Rivera. Pentagon officials stood their ground and insisted that Rivera go, and a deal was eventually reached, the Pentagon sources said.
