Out of Baghdad
Two of Al-Jazeera's correspondents have been expelled from Baghdad, which has led the station to suspend all live broadcasts from Iraq. The question is why? I propose three entirely spurious theories:

(1) The Iraqis are going to defend themselves in Baghdad in ways they would prefer not to show;
(2) If the regime loses power, it doesn't want this shown on TV so that its base of support elsewhere collapses (which might suggest a Tikrit option--the royal family fleeing Baghdad to its tribal homeland); and
(3) They thought Peter Arnett was more their type and want to revive his career by giving him exclusivity.
