Three cheers for National Geographic!Looks like my email was 1 of many = voluminous!

National Geographic has received voluminous e-mail correspondence regarding
Peter Arnett, which will require some time to process. We appreciate your
patience as we work our way through it. In the meantime, we did want to make
sure you were aware of the decision to fire Mr. Arnett. Here is the statement we
released yesterday.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STATEMENT REGARDING PETER ARNETT

National Geographic fires Peter Arnett
National Geographic has terminated the service of Peter Arnett. The Society did
not authorize or have any prior knowledge of Arnett's television interview with
Iraqi television, and had we been consulted, would not have allowed it. His
decision to grant an interview and express his personal views on
state-controlled Iraqi television, especially during a time of war, was a
serious error in judgment and wrong.
