Profiles in Courage

The kidnapping of the Christian Science Monitor's Jill Carroll and the injuries to ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt remind us of the incredible courage journalists are displaying to bring us vital news from Iraq. Last year alone, 22 journalists were killed in Iraq, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Today's gem goes to all the journalists who are still over there bringing us stories we need to know about. As an example, check out this story by Robert H. Reid of the Associated Press that ran in many papers and Web sites on Saturday. It's a thorough, clear round-up of the news gathered under the most difficult of conditions.
