war blogs

If anyone caught the daily show a couple days ago they had a big sement on war blogs. About a big community of soldiers blogging about the war. Anyone know where I can find some of these?

Here's a popular one I've looked in on now and then; I like it for doing blogs on less popular subjects that typically receive little mainstream attention:

Recent stories of interest:

Iraqi Casualties: Unnamed and Unnoticed

The Hiroshima Cover-Up

Website also keeps a running count at the bottom of the page of those KIA. Current count, 1840.

There was also an article about the recent decision to allow the media to publish photos of US coffins being unloaded at Dover Air Force Base, but it seems to have diappeared. The link was to this blog:

Pictures up here..

Look in Army Times headlines. One blogger got his ass an Article 15 with max punishment (yep, short of courts-martial, but he coulda demanded it) for blogging about Iraq. He was a perenial candidate for governor, state legislator, or about anything else he could get elected to in Arizona. Reason for Article 15 was not the blog itself, but the info contained therein which the insurgents could've used to strike at them. All blog history was deleted as a result, so no gain by directing anyone there now.

Any of them other war bloggers are under the same scrutiny with recent directives. Since G2 in Iraq looking at blogs, doubt if anything of substance is coming out of there anymore.
