"IT WAS wrong for Mr. Arnett to grant an interview to state controlled
Iraqi TV especially at a time of war and it was wrong for him to
discuss his personal observations and opinions in that interview," NBC News
President Neal Shapiro said in a statement. "Therefore, Peter Arnett will
no longer be reporting for NBC News and MSNBC."
