Agree, must get moved out of Bloggers and Personal.

This is the most compelling first hand account of combat to appear in a long time.

LTC Erik Kurilla, not Cindy Sheehan, embodies what is great about this country and reminds us what these warriors are doing for us every day.

Michael Yon's reporting is incredible.

[Mr. Silverback]

Seconded. Michael Yon is a blogger only in the most technical sense of the word. He is in every other sense and embedded reporter. If he worked for CBS, this would be in News/activism.

I know if you give a blogger news status, you might think you're opening some floodgates or establishing a double standard. But this guy is in a class by himself, and if somebody can post two or three Rush Limbaugh transcripts a day in "news," then an embedded report from Iraq certainly belongs there.
