They are Americans, but they chose to go into harms way. I do not believe they have any HIGHER honor due them, and they should NOT be taken to military hospitals. ABC has good insurance...
If the military can treat enemy combatatnts, and they do, then they can treat US Journalists. At least stabilize them and evacuate back to the US.
I understand and mostly agree too.
but then again, I didn't expect anything more from the MSM.
But beyond that, I see them as couple humans who need prayer to be healed.
I'll just leave it at that.
Insurance for civilians can be quirky in Iraq. There aren't any HMO clinics here.
If an American civilian working in attachment to the military becomes badly injured or very ill, we can be treated by the military until we are able to be evacuated out of the country.
Our only other option would be an Iraqi hospital and well...I'm just going to leave it at that.
BUT, I resent the amount of press given to these guys, when HEROes are being ignored, and castigated!

Well said and absolutely right. It's the MSM and ABC is among them that twist and fabricate the truth about Iraq. Now we have to listen to the sob stories about these guys ad nauseum as if the media was somehow a glorious profession instead of what they really are: propagandists marketing news for their corporate interests.
