Journalists are like FReepers

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.

I see. You know everyone who works for ABC. I can't and wouldn't want to argue with you.

My God, do people actually believe stuff like this? Do you realize what you sound like? Please present some evidence that Woodruff hoped for America to fail or that Woodruff was actively working to undermine the United States. Is everyone of a different political stripe than you deserving of serious injury and death? I've watched Woodruff's reporting from Iraq, and I've never seen anything to make me think of him as anything other than someone doing a job that they happen to really like. I actually still remember his good reporting from Kabul during the fall of the Taliban.
