The doctors had told them once they arrived that the brain swelling had gone down. I wonder if they can get Hillary's brain-swelling to go down too.

I wonder if they can get Hillary's brain-swelling to go down too. It's her ass-swelling that concerns me.

Will Wordruff's employer reimburse our military for the medical care and transportaion they received in the place of a soldier that may haveneeded it?
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Will Woodruff still call these monsters 'militants' or 'group'?

I don't think he is going to be on camera for awhile!

Wow - sensitive reporting about an American who is wounded in Iraq. I wonder why it took a reporter to get to this point?

Compassion my fellow freeper, compassion. Our military is great and they do help everyone including the people who criticize them all the time.

Vogt was filming a stand-up report with Woodruff and both were standing in the open hatch of an Iraqi military vehicle when the bomb went off. They underwent surgery in Iraq before being flown to Germany. Was the vehicle moving when they were doing this?

Yes, they wouldn't have been injured if they hadn't been filming the report from out of the hatch, but I'm quite sure that some U.S. soldiers have been injured because they weren't in the most protective posture possible as well.
I hope they both recover fully - the head and neck injuries sound scary - and I'll keep both of them and their families in my prayers. Members of the press don't get put on my sh!t list until they are shown to have earned it.

Prayers and well wishes to Bob and Doug.
Only real newspersons run the risk they are all painfuly aware of.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
My only question is why did these two have body armor when we've been told for so long that there's not even enough to go around for all our soldiers?

Are you saying that you are aware that an injured member of the US military was bumped so that the resources could be allocated to these guys?

IRAQ: Body Armor Likely Saved ABC News Pair ~ Take that Hillary.... ...despite the fact that these geniuses were standing to tape a report while in a Russian built Iraqi APC...the lead vehicle no less...in a convoy...through one of the most dangerous area's in Iraq...yes despite that they survived because of body armor. Guess the rules of embedding have changed to allow such inquisitive sh*tbirds the opportunity to scatter themselves over others while "getting the story"

Journalist death toll in Iraq exceeds that of Vietnam.
Our troops have gotten better at war while Journalists have gotten worse.
Of course now the MSM will say Iraq is worse than Vietnam.
