CALL TO ACTION: Traitor Peter Arnett must be fired! EMAIL NBC/MSNBC executives now!

You all probably already know what Peter Arnett has done by his interview with Iraqi state TV - gave aid and comfort to the enemy.

Here are a couple of his comments:

It is clear that within the United States that there is growing challenge to President Bush and the conduct about the war. And it is clear that our reports here about the Iraqi civilian casualties in the war, and the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States, and it helps those who oppose the war and challenge the policies to develop their arguments.

Now America is reappraising the battlefield plan and delaying the war, for maybe a week. The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan.

Here are the private email addresses for NBC/MSNBC executives/decision makers:

bob.wright@nbc.com

phil.griffin@msnbc.com

erik.sorenson@msnbc.com

Let them know how YOU feel about them having traitor Peter Arnett on their staff.

This is what I said in my email:

Dear NBC/MSNBC:

I have two televisions at home, with one always tuned in to Fox News and on the other I started watching MSNBC again during this war, because you at first glance, appear to have good coverage.

However, with the news today that your recent hire reporter, historic anti-American traitor Peter Arnett, gave an in-depth interview with Iraq state television - in which he criticised and condemned our US military actions in Iraq - I have now changed channels on my television from MSNBC to CNN... and I WILL NOT return to watch anything on NBC/MSNBC until I hear that you have fired this traitor.

Peter Arnett has a long and troubled history of giving aid and comfort to enemy regimes - from his bogus "Tailwind" story about our US military using poison gas on our own troops who were deserting, to his unconscionable lie story on the US bombing of a "Baby Milk Factory" during the first Gulf War. I was stunned to see that NBC had apparently forgiven Arnett of his previous sins while with another network, and had contracted with him to report on this war; and now, with Arnett's latest sleeping with the enemy episode I am incensed!

How can NBC believe that any American will trust your reporting, with this latest revelation about Peter Arnett's allegiance to an enemy government?

I have friends who are in the Middle East, who are prepared to die to protect my freedom, and sadly, Peter Arnett's right to be a traitor to this country; and I cannot tell you just how outraged I am that you (NBC) are trying to downplay Arnett's act of treason, declaring it in a NBC-issued statement, simply Arnett offering his "expert" analysis as a "professional courtesy" to Iraq's propaganda arm of their war effort. With that latter comment by NBC, are you saying that NBC and Iraqi TV are colleagues? That the two "news" agencies are equivalent?

If so, NBC is as bad as Arnett.

If you consider your network to be a truly objective news reporting source, then you must fire Peter Arnett, traitor, immediately.

Sincerely, xxxxxxx

Keep in mind that Arnett is subject to Iraqi handlers, who demand that he takes the Iraqi side when he reports from Baghdad.

I emailed National Geographic and told them that I was the Social Studies Dept. Chairperson at a local high school and had taught Geography for 10 years. I will make sure that none of their products ever get into our school unless they fire Arnett and issue a statement condemning his actions.

...Peter Arnett's right to be a traitor to this country;...

I may be wrong, but I think thar Arnett is a New Zealander. Since NZ is part of the coalition, he may be a traitor to them, but to us he's just an enemy shill.

Keep in mind that Arnett is subject to Iraqi handlers, who demand that he takes the Iraqi side when he reports from Baghdad.

Not according to Arnett:

" They're requiring no censorship at all. ... There are no minders around us when we broadcast. I'm sitting here in the hotel and ... we can talk on the phone freely," Arnett said. While he assumes that his calls may be monitored, Arnett said that at no time in the months he's been in Baghdad have Iraqi officials questioned him about his telephone contacts or about the contents of his stories. here's link to full article.

Big Freakin' deal. What he did was provide aid & comfort to the enemy. I hope he's on a watch list for when he comes back - and they arreast his treasonous arse at the airport when he tries to come back to this country.

Arnett is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He is scum. He is a traitor and deserves a traitor's fate.

Keep in mind that Peter Arnett was fired from CNN after fabricating a story about the US gov't using nerve gas on our own troops. Arnett tried to blame it on the staff, but in the end he got fired too.
