It is unfortunate. Yet this may change how the media refers to "insurgents". Hope they live.

" Yet this may change how the media refers to "insurgents""

Interesting point. As of 3 days ago:

"ABC's Bob Woodruff Reluctant to Label Hamas a Terrorist Group
Posted by Brad Wilmouth on January 26, 2006

On ABC's World News Tonight on Wednesday January 25, anchor Bob Woodruff showed some reluctance to label Hamas as a terrorist organization outright, but instead qualified the label by calling it a "militant" group "which the U.S. calls a terrorist organization." Woodruff also referred to Hamas once as a "radical group" and once simply as a "group."

I wish you were right, but I'm afraid this will just be seen as another victim or twoo of "Bush's War".

Interesting that the terro----er, I mean Insurgents--don't care if they hit folks sympathetic to them or not.

Don't hold your breath.
This event will be Bush's fault by tonight's broadcast of ABC news.

ABC is using this to bash the WOT and President Bush. I had to turn ABC off earlier. Sad.

I pray for a speedy recovery for both men.

Unlikely. Liberals are proud ignoramuses and this will only have them dig their heels in deeper. Liberals NEVER learn.

i was just thinking the same thing. it's funny how the MSM attitudes only begin to change on subjects until one of their own is the victim.

He might. But his comrades agendas are too strong for that, IMHO.

Prayers up for these guys, may they recover well. The experience will change them.

I would hate for them to be reduced to wheel-out poster children by agendists in the media like they did to Jim Brady (former gun collector).

If this happened to me and I was liberal, it would change my point of view overnight. I would become a supporter of the war immediately.

That is, if I survive.

I hope he makes it, as well as his photog. It sounds like they aren't in good shape.

Unfortuately it will not change the media's views. They will blame Bush for this.
