5 car bombings today, one seriously injuring CBS anchorman Bob Woodward and his cameraman.
And the beat goes on...
Our prayers go out to Woodward, his cameraman and family/
Yeah, I saw CNN said they both had head injuries and Woodruff was undergoing surgery. Awful, just awful.
Dangerous jobs.
So far, we have lost more media workers than soldiers there.
This has been much in the news on CBC radio--the cameraman is Canajun, and, apparently, and award-winning cameraman . . .

CNN wrote:Both men, who were wearing body armor and helmets, sustained head injuries during the attack and Woodruff underwent hours of surgery at the U.S. military hospital in Balad, 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Baghdad.
The Balad military hospital is the most technologically advanced in Iraq and the two were taken there after first being taken to a nearby hospital.
"Woodruff sustained shrapnel wounds, and Vogt was hit by shrapnel in the head and suffered a broken shoulder," according to an earlier statement on ABC's Web site.
Per CNN, they're both going to be moved to the US Military's medical facility in Landstuhl [Germany], probably overnight tonight.
