Peter Arnett fired by NBC News

Just heard an announcement on MSNBC that they are "severing ties" with veteran war correspondent Peter Arnett because of his inappropriate recent appearance on Iraqi state television.   Arnett, you may recall, was the announcer for CNN's infamous and now-discredited "Tailwind" story about the US military alleged use of chemical weapons during the Viet Nam war.

Good riddance.   Now, if only the National Geographic would follow suit...
