GERALDO GIVES PRECISE LOCATION OF PETER ARNETT
Attempt at Redemption for Fox News Vet
Just hours after Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera was asked to leave the 101st Airborne for revealing tactical information about the unit, Mr. Rivera attempted to redeem himself by giving the precise location of fired NBC war correspondent Peter Arnett.
To the 101st, let me say this: my bad, Mr. Rivera said in a televised segment on Fox News, before unveiling satellite photos showing Peter Arnetts most recent movements.
Mr. Arnett, who was fired by NBC for giving an interview to Iraqi TV in which he said that the U.S. war plan for Iraq had failed, was shown to be moving in a remote region near the oil-rich town of Kirkuk.
To all my buds in the 101st wherever you are go get him, dudes, Mr. Rivera said, pumping his fist in the air.
But Mr. Arnett seemed to have a surprise of his own up his sleeve, appearing on television a few minutes later in his new role as a war correspondent for The Food Network, the only cable network yet to fire him in his decades-long career.
Mr. Arnett appeared with satellite photos of Mr. Rivera, saying, Im sure many of you in the 101st Airborne would very much like to know where he is at the moment.
On CNN, Retired General Wesley Clark said that it would be helpful to the military to know the precise locations of both discredited newsmen, but cautioned, I hope our determination to take out Geraldo doesnt distract us from the equally important task of taking out Peter Arnett.
