Fallen Comrad
Yesterday in Iraq, ABC anchor Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were seriously injured by an improvised roadside explosive. Both men were flown to a U.S. military hospital in Germany. They are in serious but stable condition.
The thoughts and prayers of this nation's journalists are with both men. Their courage has exposed the American people to the true nature of our involvement in Iraq. In a time so fogged by lies and misinformation, they have paid a weighty price for an oh-so painful truth.
How many more must be maimed and killed before we wake up to what is really going on? How many more lies are we willing to swallow before we throw off this mantle of deception?
We honor you, Bob. We honor you, Doug. We honor those who have given and lost their lives in the service of our great military. But we condemn with fury and rancor those who would grasp the great paragon of our might and use it as a shield to deflect the truth and perpetuate their deceptions.
Damn you, Bush, for starting this unnecessary war!
Damn you!
