Although I didn't care for Arnett's philosophical viewpoints, I did like to watch him report from the Gulf War. You could tell how bad things were by the state of his face--bags and bloodshot eyes! Some days you could just tell he had had a really bad night and probably a worse morning.

Peter Arnett Heads to Afghanistan

NEW YORK (AP) - Former CNN correspondent Peter Arnett has been hired by Broadcast News Networks, a New York-based independent news production company, to be a correspondent covering the war on terrorism.

Arnett will contribute live and taped reports from the Afghanistan (news - web sites) region to BNN's client stations across the United States and world.

He will be chief correspondent of the company's CameraPlanet correspondents unit, a group of more than 40 reporters.

Arnett, who won a Pulitzer Prize reporting in Vietnam for The Associated Press, left CNN after 18 years in the wake of the ``Tailwind'' scandal. He was the correspondent for the June 1998 report that the U.S. military used nerve gas in Laos, which was later retracted.
