NEW YORK (AP) — Newsman Bob Woodruff has returned to the Iraqi roadside where a bomb nearly killed him while on assignment for ABC News in 2006. As seen in a special to air on ABC later this week, it was an emotional trip, and one that included his son Mack behind the camera. Woodruff still reports for ABC and sister companies and, he says, finally accepted that he will never be quite the same after suffering a traumatic brain injury. He says he was motivated to return partly by guilt over not having completed his job 17 years ago, and the trauma that his family went through.
