Blogs by Iraqis From John Fund: "Pentagon officials say that coverage of Iraq's liberation and its aftermath was made richer by military bloggers who provided on-scene commentary that even journalists embedded with the U.S. military also appreciated. One Marine's blog report that the Arab TV channel al-Jazeera was paying people to shoot at U.S. troops was read by military officers and led to arrests.

but as an American to gain firsthand knowledge and valuable information
concerning the issues affecting our armed forces.
