Jan. 29, 2006 — "World News Tonight" co-anchor Bob Woodruff and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, were seriously injured after their convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device in Taji, Iraq, today.

Woodruff and Vogt are undergoing surgery at the U.S. military hospital in Balad. Both men suffered head injuries. Woodruff sustained shrapnel wounds and Vogt was hit by shrapnel in the head and suffered a broken shoulder.




Looks like he can talk (if able) about how "wonderful" things are going in Iraq...

Edited to add hopes for a speedy recovery and the ability to tell the WHOLE truth about Iraq.

in serious condition.

No matter what their nationality they are risking their lifes and I thank them for their efforts - otherwise people would have to take Bush's words for what is happpening there.

Best wishes for Doug and Bob and their families - I hope they recover.

No wonder Bush went to church with Mommy this morning. Half of his SOTU just went out the window.

Anyone with an ounce of DECENCY would stay as far away from the idiot's mess as they can. Another casualty in the "Bu$h march to freedom". How many more? How many more are willing to give up their lives for this lying moron squatter in the WH? Idiots.

With the adminstration telling America how well it is going because there is no other word coming out of Iraq?

and mindless cheerleading.

Better uninformed than misinformed and lied to.

'course, I don't know that was what Wodruff planned to do- but that's the usual fare on the so called "news" these days- and I doubt the owners and "editors" would allow anything else....

calling it like it is....from the front lines, embedded. Isn't it time? Can't be a woman -- it would be too hard in that culture.

not reporting all of the good news from Iraq!

Seriously, I wish them a quick recovery.

The news media is not supposed to be reporting on themselves. What now? A sanctimonious book about Woodruff's experience in Iraq?

I mean we got kids dying there and getting maimed and all the focus is on Woodruff?
Let's see the pain and suffering the American soldier is going thru. I do hope Woodruff makes a fast and full recovery though.
