ABC's Woodruff, Vogt Wounded in Iraq
ABC World News Tonight co-anchor Bob Woodruff and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, have been seriously wounded by an IED (bomb) near Baghdad. As of this writing, both Woodruff and Vogt are out of surgery and in stable condition.You can get the very latest information here.
No one ever said covering a war was easy...or safe. But, journalists need to be there to serve as the eyes and ears for the rest of the world. Many of you know that I have been working to try to get to Iraq to do stories on Illinois servicemen and women. This incident, while certainly sobering, does not weaken my resolve to try to get over there and spotlight the work our Illinois service personnel are doing.
A quick footnote about the Woodruff/Vogt incident...ironically, Bob Woodruff and his family were close friends with NBC's David Bloom, who died of a blood clot while on assignment in Iraq in 2003.

I know Woody well since we worked on stories together in Phoenix at KNXV-TV.
I blame the brunt of his injuries on this unforgivable safety issue:
