I remember that incident during the first stages of the war in Iraq. They must have forgiven him......he's been there with the troops lately doing his schtick.

I saw Giraldo's report. He took a stick & drew a crude map in the sand. I thought nothing of it at the time since they could have been located +/-25 miles from his general description of things. Yes, it was stupid & Giraldo did apologize. When it became an issue, I thought that they should throw out most of the journalists then. I saw numerous reports where their verbal description (we're headed northwest at about 15 mph - we're about 5 miles south of Basra on xxx road, etc.), coupled with live video that would give the enemy multiple landmarks to ID their location & direction. IMO, Giraldo was reporting for FOX, so the MSM jumped all over it. And as usual they made sure they didn't report what their journalists were doing that was far more dangerous.
