Bob Woodward and photographer injured in IED attack.
A fabulous article about the quality of care given to our wounded in Iraq.

With amazing speed and precision, military nurses help airlift critically injured soldiers out of Iraq. Even more amazing — not one critical patient’s life has been lost in flight.
BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq — As happens many nights here at the Air Force Theater Hospital and nearby contingency aeromedical staging facility (CASF), the number of wounded and ill service members scheduled for a 2:00 AM medical flight to Germany changed a few hours before takeoff.
Four Marines who were injured when an improvised explosive device struck their military vehicle were flown by helicopter to the hospital, which is located on a former Iraqi air base now occupied by both the U.S. Air Force and Army.
Three of the Marines sustained serious head injuries and were intubated. The fourth Marine was conscious and had shrapnel wounds on the right side of his face and burn and shrapnel wounds on his hands and arms. All four were taken to ICU #1, one of many small patient units in this sprawling tent field hospital.

That's exactly how the MSM distorts the truth by using loaded adjectives. Everyone of them do it, including FOX. How can one get accurate news anymore?
oops - posted the wrong story - here in Woodruff from North Korea

You will llike the article linked at #521
Or something like that. It frequently comes out like, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." It was attributed to Voltaire but was actually written years later by one of his admirers as a tribute to Voltaire's philosophy.
Tis a good saying. Not sure about the "death" part. I'm a big chicken.
ABC STAR WOODRUFF AND CAMERA MAN VOGT CRITICAL IN IRAQI suppose that "star" is a better descriptor than the word "journalist" -- which most of the stories about this incident have employed -- although, personally, I still prefer the British word, "news reader."
I don't see how you could turn ABC on in the first place. Stronger constitution than mine, I'm afraid.
Unfortuately it will not change the media's views. They will blame Bush for this.
Excellent article. Thanks for the link.
And not a shred of whining or carping or exaggerating, just the facts and a very compelling story of the medical mission and personnel at Balad.
Why can't the MSM do that?
Link isn't right.
Not what the mayor of New Orleans would like to see in his city.
check this one - sorry

And still you can't understand and are clueless.
What are you talking about?
I am calling you out for this slander.
Hey, I heard these guys have been injured, is that right? Oh wait, are these the same guys who have been mentioned every five minutes for the last five hours? Those two? Over 2000 service members dead and they are only mentioned by the media negatively if at all, these two guys get bombed and I am supposed to care why, and so often? Good grief, once an hour would be fine, but this is really overkill.
Probably is...........Photoshopped.....ie: my pic in post 204
