Martha Raddatz: Still Braver than Abu Muqawama
Martha Raddatz of ABC News wins the Spirit Award this week. Her reports from the Swat Valley in Pakistan -- where the Taliban has officially taken over, even as the political tug-of-war plays out in Islamabad -- are priceless. Most Western journalists with her profile would have been like, "Nah, I think I might wait this one out and file my reports from the Hilton." Not Martha. What a tough lady.
