As suggested will a chroma blur fix some situations, and the easiest way to do that is use a Fast Blur on an adjustment layer and set the layer blend mode on that adjustment layer to Color, then it will only blur the chroma. Then it is easy to play with the blur value and mask the effect.

Just a quick workflow tip ;-)

I've used a 0.5 fast blur with success, but it does all depend on how extreme the moire is. Blurring in general will be your answer though. As everyone else mentioned just isolate the troubled area and apply blur to that.

I have some interview footage shot on HDCAM (1080i) with a guy wearing a finely patterned checked suit that is moireeing (sp?) like crazy. What's the easiest way to deal with this? Is it even possible? Thanks,
