Subject: National Geographic statement regarding Peter Arnett

National Geographic has received voluminous e-mail correspondence today

regarding Peter Arnett, which will require some time to process. We

appreciate your patience as we work our way through it. In the

meantime, we

did want to make sure you were aware of our decision to end Mr.

Arnett's

association with National Geographic. Here is the statement we released

this morning.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STATEMENT REGARDING PETER ARNETT

The National Geographic Society has terminated the services of Peter

Arnett. The Society did not authorize or have any prior knowledge of

Arnett's television interview with Iraqi television, and had we been

consulted, would not have allowed it. His decision to grant an

interview

and express his personal views on state-controlled Iraqi television,

especially during a time of war, was a serious error in judgement and

wrong.
