At this point, the WaPo site says the journalist and soldier killed have not been ID'd pending notification of next of kin. If so, this would make it the SECOND time that ABCNEWS Radio has intentionally violated the CENTCOM embargo on reporting names of POWs/MIAs before the families were notified. They were the ones that reported Pfc. Lynch's rescue a good 30-40 minutes before they were supposed to.
Sounds like they may need a good Freeping.

Maybe, maybe not on the CENTCOM embargo. WaPo's link to teh story is as of 7:55 AM, but the page was updated at 10:05. So it's hard to tell if WaPo just hasn't updated the story or is still honoring an embargo.
If ABC is violating CENTCOM again, there ought to be some kind of enforceable sanction. I believe the news organizations had to sign an agreement to have embeds.
