On one end of the spectrum we have reporters like Michael Kelly, who would definitely have been evenhanded and steady in his approach as an embed.
On the other we have seditious little bastards like Kevin Sites who did definitely manufacture news implicating the very troops who were defending his life in a combat zone. His story from Fallujah was one of the most astonishing acts of reportorial malevolence I have ever seen.
Where Woodruff stood on this spectrum is completely and utterly unknown, and it's not fair to insult him at this point.
It will be very interesting to see what effect this incident might have on his understanding of our military, our soldiers, and the war.
