The military has kicked Geraldo Rivera out of Iraq. The stated reason is that he gave away operational details. I think the other reason is that he’s Geraldo Rivera.
UPDATE: Or not. The fog of war seems to be setting in here. Geraldo denies he’s leaving; a U.S. Central Command official says, “He is being pulled. He just doesn’t know it yet. He has not gotten the word.”
At least Geraldo is being gracious about the whole episode. Referring to the network that first reported his alleged expulsion, he said, “It sounds like some rats from my former network, NBC, are trying to stab me in the back. … MSNBC is so pathetic a cable news network that they have to do anything they can to attract attention. You can rest assured that whatever they’re saying is a pack of lies.”
