NBC fires Peter Arnett for granting an interview to Iraqi state-owned television, where he said coalition forces had "failed because of Iraqi resistance."

Arnett was the last journalist left covering the invasion of Iraq from within Baghdad. Mr. Arnett was a CNN correspondent in Baghdad during the Persian Gulf war in 1991. The Iraqis evicted all major Western television correspondents except Mr. Arnett. Iraqi officials said then that Mr. Arnett had "proven impartiality."
