I read the transcript and the report.
I personally don't think it was right to do an interview kissing Iraqi ass that way. It may not be illegal, but that isn't the only yardstick we should use with which to measure a person's actions.
I guess reporters have a right to state their personal opinions, but not under the guise of objective reporting. In this case, I guess he wasn't pretending to be an "objective" reporter (if such an animal actually exists), but was being interviewed about his personal opinion, which is what, imho, keeps him from being a complete traitor. But..like they say about opinions, sure makes him an asshole.
