Peter Arnett's "relationship with NBC" has been terminated because Arnett stated on Iraqi TV that the Bush war plan "had failed." Given that the war wasn't over yet, NBC apparently felt that declaring Baghdad victorious was perhaps a bit premature. Arnett still has his National Geographic gig, though. He may, however, be restricted to reporting stories that begin with "Deep, in the deserts of Iraq... the ferocious dromedary camel stalks its prey..."
