  • While the news media appears hostile to blogging conducted by its 'embedded' personnel in the field of combat in Iraq (probably because it rightly senses the outside possibility of blogs usurping and undermining its traditional outlets), the US Army is aware of numerous soldier-bloggers, enables them with its technological resources, and apparently conducts no censoring. 


    Moreover..."The Army is considering incorporating blogging into its secure network where troops communicate with each other and their families. If such a system were put into place, the general public would no longer have access to such blogs."


      --Yahoo News


    Perhaps, besides the Battle for Baghdad, blogging is reaching a critical moment due to the evolution of communication on the battlefield in this, the first full-fledged cyber-assisted war.
