CBS did not file a single story with an overseas dateline. NBC had Stephanie Gosk file from her bicycle on an outside-of-category climb on a Tour de France Alp but unfortunately her network did not link to the video, presumably because it believed it could not make fair use of sports footage. ABC sent Bob Woodruff to a trauma unit in Kandahar that has treated 1,000 casualties so far this year, between 60% and 80% of them Afghan civilians. The medics had worked previously in Iraq, where Woodruff himself almost had his brains blown out: the nurse, a lieutenant, "took care of me when I was in a coma;" the surgeon, a colonel, "removed rocks from my brain and neck."
