Interesting Wall Street Journal article about soldiers' blogs, giving better than real time coverage of the war. Unfortunately, the article doesn't link to any of them, so we're going to have dig them out ourselves. Embedded journalists can be fascinating to watch, but it can seduce the viewer in the same way a video game might; the women and men who are in harms way 24-7 can instruct us as to what it really means to be in the middle of a war, and right now happen to be a better use of the b-sphere than pseudo-pundits like myself.
UPDATE: Found one. He's a Lileks' fan (sigh). Check it out, anyway. This guy, too.
