I thought this article was interesting. It almost seems UPI is trying to bad mouth the troops making them look like complainers and at the same time justify why journalists who are hurt in Iraq are better print. I thought the same thing the trooper who was quoted when I first heard the Woodruff story. If it's not nice round KIA number or a good video shot of a IED attack by insurgents then they could care less. Rebuilding schools and helping local people just doesn't seem like a good story to many in the MSM. I guess the old saying still goes, "if it bleeds it leads."

Quite frankly, I don't care what happens to any msm "journalist" in Iraq. I think they are on the other side and I care no more for their fate than I care about the fate of an "insurgent".
