CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: BLOOD AND GUTS

The US military on the ground in Baghdad received high marks from both NBC and ABC. Good Morning America anchor Chris Cuomo (subscription required) found adventure while traveling with a patrol in the Ghazaliya neighborhood. His HumVee was hit by a boobytrap bomb planted under a pair of roadside corpses. "Glass showers down…this is not panic…the gunner spits out glass but never misses a beat." No one was injured. "Welcome to Baghdad!" Cuomo shook the captain's hand in thanks.

NBC's medical reporter Robert Bazell traveled to Baghdad's Green Zone to watch a Combat Support Hospital in action. He was on the scene as nine wounded soldiers from a USArmy Stryker brigade were medevaced in after a grenade attack and observed two simultaneous surgeries in a single blood-drenched theater. "I have been to hospitals throughout the United States and I have never seen anything like the bravery of the wounded troops and the intensity and dedication of these men and women who are treating them."
