(Pentagon-AP) -- Geraldo Rivera says he wants to get back in the field in Iraq.

The Pentagon has said Fox News Channel agreed to remove Rivera from his posting with U-S troops, after the reporter was accused of revealing unauthorized military movements.

Quoting an unnamed source, the New York Daily News says Rivera has "volunteered" to go to Kuwait, where he'll keep reporting on the war. The paper says he won't be punished.

Rivera tells a Minneapolis TV station he feels like he's "been scolded." KSTP has a reporter embedded with the same unit Rivera was with.

That reporter says members of the unit had mixed reactions. He says some were angry over Rivera's reports -- but others wanted an autograph.

Rivera tells the station he hopes to stay in Kuwait for a week and then arrange to rejoin the 101st Airborne Division. A Pentagon spokesman says that probably won't happen -- but it remains to be seen if Rivera will be allowed to cover things from "another perspective."
