John McWethy, RIP

He used to be ABC News' national security correspondent, holding that beat for over 20 years.
He died in an accident yesterday at the age of 61.
I watched his reports on ABC for years. He was always serious, sober, and responsible.

I didn't even know he'd retired, actually--I (along with many others now in this internet-driven, faster-paced age) don't watch the national network news on TV that much any more. I get my news in other ways. But Mr. McWethy always seemed like an honest, decent journalist; and we shall miss him.
