Some IEDs are a lot bigger than others. The one that did this damage below was VERY VERY big. Not made of artillery shells.

Bob Woodward and photographer injured in IED attack.
No need to pardon yourself.

The word "bigot" implies an unreasonable and unjustified dislike and/or discrimination against someone that is based on untruths and distortions and ignorance of the true nature of the person...
Hence, describing a lawyer as "bottom-feeding" is not bigotry.
In the same vein, "ambulance-chaser" and "shyster" would not be bigotry.
Simply the truth.
I presume you are a lawyer, as experience has taught me that the bitten dog barks first.
You have my deepest sympathy.
I've heard this too, from those who were on the ground there. Don't know how widespread the attitude is, but it does exist.
You mean, are they praying to Mother Sheehan, or is she the one praying for the journalists?
Hmmmm. Interesting question. I'd probably go with the former, since they tend to worship her so much. ;-)
He was a man doing his job. Nothing else. Prayers for him and his cameraman
I'll second yours also.
As I said before, disgusting.
I wish I could say I am amazed at what I am seeing written here about this American, but I can't.
True. I should have said it's not just your opinion.
praying for their families
Well, there is one small difference. Most Freepers support the United States and don't go out of their way to damage it and try to get our military killed with things like Abu Garahb and other non scandals. Most Freepers do not give aid and comfort to enemies, knowing that it will cost the lives of journalists. Most Freepers don't consider terrorists kindred spirits and freedom fighters. Most freepers don't hope that America will fail in this war.
Granted, some journalists do support America but not anyone that works for ABC.
That said, I do feel for the families and the two injured but I don't let that cloud my judgment as to what they intended to do over there. The net result of which would have cost more of our soldiers lives. I would guess that everyone in the media sleeps just fine at night after they get people killed with false stories about korans being flushed down toilets etc. My sympathy is, therefore somewhat strained.
Oh please. This is not a set up. They are American targets, they got hurt in the war zone.
As much as I disagree with ABC on many political issues, I wish their correspondents no harm. They would bash the President with or without this.
Prayers for the injured and their families.
The media will never report what has been done to the likes of Jessica Simpson, and others. They only show what the brutes do when they have to, such has hanging charred bodies from bridges, and such....
I'll try, but I'm going to be out for a while today. I'd suggest leaving your TV on your local ABC station. If this turns out to be anything really bad, the other news channels won't report it until ABC does, out of professional courtesy. (Unless some young hotshot working the weekend shift at CNN or MSNBC decides to be an ass and jump the gun, anyway.)
Jessica Simpson?
The injured photographer is a Canadian who is good buddies with the ABC Nightline reporter who recently joined Al Jazeera.
Woodruff is out of surgery per Fox.
Fox says Woodruff out of surgery.
Prayers for them both.
