You sure did not offend me. Most of the media is culpable with the Bushies. THEY allow this crap to happen right alongside the Bush Group. They have been sucking up every turd he feeds them.

Bob Woodruff is co-anchor of ABC News' "World News Tonight," a role he has held since January 2006. Previously the anchor of the weekend edition of "World News Tonight" and one of ABC News' top correspondents, Woodruff has covered major stories throughout the country and around the world. His reports from New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina helped focus the nation's attention on the building tragedy there. He was ABC's lead correspondent on the Asian Tsunami, reporting from Banda Aceh, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Woodruff has covered the entire so-called "axis of evil," the nuclear showdown in Iran, and in June 2005 he got unprecedented access to the secretive country of North Korea. In the last presidential election Woodruff reported on the campaign of Democratic Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. He also has reported extensively on the continuing unrest in Iraq from Baghdad, Najaf, Nassariya and Basra. During the initial invasion in March 2003, Woodruff reported from the front lines as an embedded journalist with the First Marine Division, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. Before moving to New York in 2002, Woodruff worked out of ABC News' London Bureau. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he was among the first Western reporters to filed from Pakistan and was one of ABC News' lead foreign correspondents during the war in Afghanistan, reporting from Kabul and Kandahar on the fall of the Taliban. His overseas reporting of the fallout from Sept. 11 was part of ABC News' coverage recognized with the Alfred I. Dupont Award and the George Foster Peabody Award, the two highest honors in broadcast journalism. He was also a part of the ABC News team recognized with an Alfred I. duPont award for live coverage of the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of Pope Benedict XVI. Before becoming a journalist Woodruff was an attorney. But in 1989 while teaching law in Beijing he was hired by CBS News to work as a translator during the Tiananmen Square uprising, and a short time later he changed careers. As ABC News' Justice Department correspondent in Washington in the late 1990s, Woodruff covered the office of Attorney General Janet Reno, the FBI and ATF. In 1999 he reported from Belgrade and Kosovo during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Since then he has reported extensively on Europe and the Middle East. Prior to joining ABC News, Woodruff was a reporter for KCPM-TV, the NBC affiliate in Redding, Calif., from 1991 to 1992; for the CBS affiliate WTVR-TV in Richmond, Va., from 1992 to 1994; and for KNXV-TV, the ABC affiliate in Phoenix, Ariz. from 1994 to 1996. He joined ABC News in 1996, based in the network's Chicago bureau. Woodruff has a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School and a B.A. from Colgate University. He is married and has four children.

The comment sure wasn't offensive to me. For one thing it shows the stupidity of ABC News management to have one of their main World News Tonight anchors reporting from the streets of Baghdad. Anybody with any sense knows Baghdad is one dangerous damn place. Secondly, it probably will raise the ire of some who have grown complacent in the media. Maybe they'll get some outrage stoked, even if for misplaced reasons. How about a fraudulent war that has killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and over 2200 US troops and many more wounded or maimed for life? That's a good starting point for outrage, way overdue.
