Holy Crap! Well I can't see Geraldo making a stupid mistake like that. He was reporting in Afghanistan for a long time. To give him credit, he may be overdramatic and tabloid-like when he reports but he is not an idiot! He has been a war correspondent for many years.

Flame away, but I really enjoy watching Geraldo. The troops love him and so does (apparently) the commanders on the ground. Hell, the other day the commander thanked him for the words of inspiration that he had for the troops at an earlier meeting. I think he is cool and consider myself a fan. As far as the "information" that he is giving away, maybe it is planned that way. Come on, he is at the HQ with plenty of intel guys around. He only releases what they want him to release. Do you think that IRAQ is the only people that utilize the media for mis-information. Your are killing me...

Exactly, and he can laugh at himself along with everyone. He knows he's had some real duds like the Capone trip. When he first joined up with Fox he made a joke about it.

Hmm, I dunno. He's fun and even likeable, but he's definitely an idiot.

MSNBC is still reporting Geraldo's demise as of 3PM Eastern. If the story is not true they will again have fabricated a self serving story. Who watches them anyway?

With all respect to any fellow freepers, Geraldo did not do our troops a service by broadcasting their location for all the world to see.

The story on Geraldo being thrown out has been run by several sources now, and even though the liberal media is to be regarded suspiciously, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

In this case we have a spokesman for the defense department making the statements:

"If you were to ask me on whether or not he had reported on things that were of tactical value and compromised operational security, I would have to say yes. In the eyes of the commander on the ground, he did," Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman told Reuters.

"Fox has talked to us and they have indicated to us that they are going to remove him from the areas of operation," added Whitman.

So in this case it's not Geraldo and Fox against NBC, or CNN, or ET, or AFP, it's Geraldo and Fox against the defense department.

I'll take the word of the defense department that is charged with looking out for the well being of our greatest national treasure: the men and women who fight to defend our freedom.

Last word from ET is that Geraldo is now in Kuwait City, having been removed from Iraq at the request of DOD. I hope Fox will do the honorable thing and remove him from the story entirely. We are at war, and we can't have any reporters, however well intentioned (though I'm not sure if Geraldo is well intentioned or just satisfying his ego by attaching himself to our troops) jeapordizing our troops' safety or the effectiveness of our war effort.

Nothing he does would suprise me, I watched him dig into Al Capon's secret vault on time. Nothing but two old whiskey bottles and one guy with egg on his face..
