#1 I thought he acted as a traitor during GW1 and am only surprised that any network would hire him (except for Iraqi TV). I am not the least bit surprised at his statements nor sentiments.

#2 "just the facts, ma'am" journalism has gone out the window in the last decade thanks in large part to the universities churning out 'cultural relativist' indoctrination.

Now they cannot even pretend to be objective.

It is a widespread phenomenon. Every day the Sydney Morning Herald has a front page pic of an injured Iraqi child (TM) with a massive heading : This is terrible' "disgusting' or something equally non-biased and even-handed.

Their idea of a balanced op-ed page is 4 articles of anti-war kant.

#3 My jaw damn near hit the floor when Arnett said he and other journalists have been working with the anti-war movement, helping them to formulate their arguments in opposition to the Bush administration.

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. So much for journalistic objectivity!

#4 Arnett will be killed soon anyway (crosses fingers) during the seige.

#5 I was "shocked and awed" at the self destruction delivered by Peter "Traitor" Arnett. Move over Dixie Chicks.

#7 Yeah, right, Peter......I truly believe that the coalition told you about their overall strategy. Yup. You were right there with Gen. Franks and the other top guys. Uh huh.

#8 Arnett is a communist. His reporting from Vietnam and during the Gulf War was Stalinist. CNN gave him the boot for his Michael Moore reporting style. He remains a herpes virius, so he'll get a journalism award soon.

#9 he did the same thing in the Gulf War, why is everyone suprised.

#10 I'm confused. I thought you had to be a retired General to criticize the warplan on teevee. Arnett is just a thrice discredited CNN reject.

#11 Hey, Petey? Are the Special Forces using the poison gas yet? Or rather, HOW MUCH poison gas are they using?
Will anybody hire this guy when this is over? Besides, Indymedia?

#12 Oooops, sorry. Forgot Al-Jiz. Pete, have your people call their people.

#13 Arnett is a loyal citizen of the Hollywood/Madison Avenue Cultural Axis, the number one enemy of civilization for the past 40 years. To understand this demonic entity, which is not a conspiracy and which does not include all media, take a look at Thomas Frank's The Conquest of Cool.

#14 I got an idea, we can all write to MSNBC management for them to give Peter Arnett a glowing recommendation for a new post in Iraqi TV station.

#15 "Because he has proved himself to now be Saddam's bitch"
