I am not a pregnant working mother wronged.

It will change the way I report that story because of what I've seen there. They don't hate all Americans. I think they would like American soldiers to go home, but they want to live in safety. To think that we could just pull out and leave people in those living conditions It's just appalling.

They would tell you that they were just doing their soldierly duty. But in doing so they remind us again what a remarkable group of people can accomplish under the greatest of pressure and we are grateful.

This is joyous news for Marc and our family. At the same time, our immediate concern remains with Bob (Woodruff) ... and the entire Woodruff family as we hope and pray for continuing good news about his recovery.
