WOODRUFF RETURNS TO IRAQ

Former ABC World News co-anchor Bob Woodruff, who suffered critical brain injuries when the MT-LB he was riding in was struck by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2006, has returned to the war zone for a series of reports that will focus on the treatment of U.S. soldiers injured in combat there. Woodruff is among a group of journalists who are accompanying Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to the war-ravaged country. "I have wanted to 'get back on the horse again' since my recovery," he wrote. "This will be a different horse, probably not as big, not as fast and without running outside the 'wire,'" he said, referring to the area outside the protected area of Baghdad.
