Media Lies Unhappy at all the attention on Woodruff: "I heard Paul Harvey mention that Woodruff has four children and his cameraman has three, and I thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if just once in a while they reported these types of things about our soldiers when they're injured.'

In the coming days, Woodruff will get an inordinate amount of attention from our media. Meanwhile our troops will continue to languish in obscurity. No reports from Iraq. No breathless reporting from Landstuhl. No coverage when they fly home. No interviews with their wives and other family members. No regular updates on their progress."

Public Eye is also full of how Woodruff getting injured will change the debate. I think tracking news stories of Woodruff vs. other soldiers will be interesting.
