Well, I don't really disagree with you. But I don't think it's the least bit wrong for NBC to dump him for his bad judgment. I wouldn't hire him to give his opinion on the war, but he's a really good war reporter, and I would hire him to find out what's going on -- not to feed Iraqi State TV. I don't see how what he did advanced the cause of anything, even if you're against the war.
