What do you guys think about his comments? Personally i feel whether you are for or against the war his comments were highly inappropriate, especially during wartime.
I fail to see how these comments are inappropriate or treasonist. Maybe it's because 90% of what he said was true, but it's truth that Americans don't want to hear. The first thing he said about 'unfailing courtesy' was a bit of a wank, but the rest seemed like objective, reasoned discussion of the war thus far.

Although the war is basically going to plan, the American forces did not envision the sort of resistance or tactics which the Iraqi people have thus far employed. So they may well be re-evaluating their strategies.

The point he made about the marketplace attacks is true. The US government cannot afford the bad publicity which would result from that attack being attributed to one of their missiles, so they have suggested that it was an Iraqi missile. The Iraqi government has much to gain from saying it was a US missile, so that is the view which they are putting forward. I'm not saying that either side is correct, merely showing that logic dictates the actions which each government is taking in relation to this incident. Mr Arnett hasn't said anything beyond what I just stated, so I can't see how it is inappropriate.

The rest of the things he has said, excepting the single statement about the war plan 'failing', which he has no source for and no right to say, are valid statements on the war and its progression thus far. I don't know anything about the man's history so I can't consider that in relation to his statements, but what he has said makes sense to me and it amazes me that he was sacked for it. As KorpDeath said, it's pathetic of him to apologise after being sacked. But IMHO, he shouldn't have had to apologise in the first place, because he hasn't done anything wrong. And I think the statement about it being 'treasonist' is ridiculous. What about the reporter who sketched a mud map of a future military operation? That is about ten times more dangerous than some guy expressing his (objective) opinion on the state of the war.

I guess it boggled me a little to see him be sacked for something like this, kind of like that Dixie Chicks boycott thing. Just because the war's started doesn't mean you can't voice your opposition to it. You can be for your country, and against your administration.
