Before becoming a journalist, Woodruff was an attorney.

Sheesh, a double whammy of low life's pursuits.

Anyway, I really don't wish this on anyone, even a bottom-feeding lawyer/journalist, so here's hoping he is okay, but truth be told, this guy is a liberal all the way, with his refusals to label the likes of Hama as "terrorists" and his sympathetic reporting of the travails of "insurgents" the world over.

But can someone tell me how this eclipses the death of any US Servicemember at any one time in this conflict?

I haven't seen these headlines from the media in conjunction with the deaths of good soldiers, unless it was to criticize.

Bingo. It's more important to report about the condition of a reporter. No news, so far, as to military WIA/KIA in this incident.

I wonder if Code Pink will protest outside their hospital when they are returned to US soil?

Rush limbaugh gave an excellent talk a couple weeks ago about the infusion of liberal journalists into the media. He said they are often good students who are eventually indoctrinated by their profs that they can change the world through their reporting (to their liberal/socialist slant). So most now do not go in to be objective reporters but to put their left slant on the stories. So a lib lawyer turned anchorman is a leftist idealogues dream.

Yea, what a low calling, an attorney, a position so important that the Founding Fathers specifically required the proffessions existence in the Constitution. You people have really got to get a grip.

Insurgents Regret ABC News Friendly-Fire Incident
by Scott Ott

(2006-01-30) — Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, today expressed his regrets to ABC News for the injuries sustained by anchor Bob Woodruff and a videographer in what Mr. Zarqawi called, “this tragic incident of friendly fire.”

“The American news media has always treated us well,” the al Qaeda leader said in a printed statement. “We were trying to kill U.S. and Iraqi soldiers when this unfortunate accident occurred. We pray to Allah for the swift recovery of the injured, and hope they can be back on the job soon.”

A spokesman for ABC News said a preliminary investigation showed that the improvised explosive device (IED) which wounded Mr. Woodruff and his colleague Doug Vogt, was triggered by “an imperialist occupation of Iraq after the U.S. overthrew the nation’s duly-elected president, yet failed to find weapons of mass destruction.”
