2. Good question.

He surfaced awhile back...I forget where, now.

He might be working for the BBC.

I really miss him.

4. This was the last I read about him - 3/10 /04

"Also Saturday, newsman Peter Arnett, 69, exchanged "I do's" with Molly Walsh, 43, who does PR for Altria, parent company of Philip Morris. The black-tie ceremony was at Georgetown University's Dahlgren Chapel of the Sacred Heart. The couple met two years ago while socializing at the ever-popular Cafe Milano."

Didn't he have something major to do with a group that helps protect overseas correspondents? The name of the organization escapes me. I've often wondered if that is how he spends his time now.

Two tales from the front:

On the one hand, we saw Peter Arnett, the veteran war correspondent who made his name in Vietnam and in the first Gulf conflict, fired by NBC for telling Iraqi television that the early part of the invasion "failed to meet its objectives." Never mind that he was right. He should not have been so openly critical of the Pentagon.

On the other hand, we had Fox News' Geraldo Rivera, the clown formerly known as a journalist, fresh off his Osama Bin Laden-hunting trip in Afghanistan, getting bounced after he drew a map in the sand, live and on camera, pinpointing the position of the army unit he was travelling with.
