Read a rather disturbing story about his grandstanding in Afghanisan causing a lot of problems for our guys. He showed up and gave away the fact that we'd be arriving. Gave the bad guys a 'heads up'. This man is not good for our military operation.

I completely believe he is a grandstander. That's his persona. I can also agree he isn't good for our military operation if he's given away info he shouldn't. I take it he was removed to Kuwait for that reason. I didn't realize he "showed up"... was it without permission? I assumed he traveled with them to Iraq. When I saw him with our guys in Afghanistan & later in Iraq - it's always a show, but the troops were always respectful, even friendly with him, as much as any other reporter.
