For Iraq’s People, the Defeat of the ‘Gringos’ Makes Up for a Lot »
A Blogger Gets a Well Deserved Kudo
One of the stranger aspects of the blogosphere is how you get to know people that you’ve never actually met.
Case at hand is Bill Roggio, a nonpareil military blogger who when not off hoofing around Iraq or Afghanistan lives an hour’s car ride away from me. We’ll surely meet someday, but in the meantime the always helpful and self-effacing Bill has been a terrific information source for me – and I am sure many other bloggers, too – by email and telephone.
That is why I was delighted to see that Columbia Journalism Review has given Bill and his Long War Journal blog a terrific and well-deserved write-up that speaks volumes about how people like him are redefining journalism — and war coverage in particular — in ways that could hardly be imagined a few short years ago.

For someone who gets “joyful zeal” over a US defeat in Iraq, how can you give kudos to a somewhat neutral military blogger?
Rudi:
Bill and I do not see eye to eye on the politics of the war but are copacetic when it comes to the boots on the ground.
I should also add that he is behind a great outfit called Public Media Inc. that, among other things, arranges embeds for bloggers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So Sorry for first comment being overly snarky, I read the CJR article and they mentioned his PMI. Didn't get a chance to go to the site as of yet.
