Howard Kurtz asks: Would it have been better for
Bob Woodruff to spend his career in a Manhattan studio, reading copy off a teleprompter? "Our anchors have always gone out and covered the news," says ABC News president
David Westin. "
Peter [Jennings] was out in Iraq more than once, was out on convoys. On stories like the conflict in Iraq, it's really impossible to cover that without taking some risk. It's what Bob did. It's what Bob loved. It's what he was superb at. I don't have any second thoughts about it."
