ABC Journalists Hospitalized in Md.

(AP) – ABC anchorman Bob Woodruff, seriously injured in a roadside bombing in Iraq, was slowly being brought out of sedation Wednesday at a Navy hospital in Maryland where he was flown for treatment the night before. Military doctors and Woodruff's brother David said the 44-year-old journalist's condition was improving by the day. "He moved his legs and his arms again when they got him into the Bethesda hospital. He attempted to open his eyes, and that can't be anything but good," David Woodruff said on ABC's "Good Morning America." He said his brother was coming out of "a really bad place" but showing signs of recovery. Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were filming a report on the Iraqi military and standing in the hatch of an Iraqi military vehicle when the bomb exploded Sunday. They were treated in Iraq, then taken to a U.S. military base in Germany and finally airlifted Tuesday to the United States along with 15 other patients aboard a C-17 military plane.
