ABC's Bob Woodruff goes back to Iraq

ABC News anchorman Bob Woodruff has reurned to Iraq where he was seriously injured by a roadside in 2006 shortly after becoming anchor of World News.

His first report from Iraq was scheduled to air Monday night on World News with Charles Gibson, but a sandstorm interfered with satellite transmission, according to the network, and the piece is now scheduled to air on Tuesday's Good Morning America. Woodruff is traveling with Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a blog post written before he left, Woodruff explained his reasons for returning to the conflict that almost took his life.

Now there's a truly courageous man with a courageous family standing behind him.

You go, Bob Woodruff (and please, come back safely!)
