I found this article to be pretty good regarding "Salam Pax", the Iraqi blogger. It's quite in-depth and gives a great deal of background on his past posts, etc.

I'm still totally addicted to The Command Post. It really is the most comprehensive news coverageand their coverage of both the news of the war and the opinions regarding it are expansive beyond the imagination.

I also keep my handy-dandy "AutoRefresh for IE" running on this page and check it on-and-off throughout the day and night while I'm doing other stuff... I also keep FeedReader, my RSS news aggregator running constantly. (If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, read Dave Winer's informative peice "What is a News Aggregator?" I'm relatively new to RSS myself, but I have found it to be - hands down - the coolest Internet feature I've discovered in years.

I'm a reader more than a watcher of news... Some people can spend hours watching CNN or FoxNews. I prefer the web for its (usually) "unfiltered" and customizable style. I get emotionally worn down watching CNN, especially thinking about the people that I know and love who are currently in the Persian Gulf, but my mind gets cranking instead of my heart when I'm reading well-written stuff.

(And of course, in addition to my Command Post, FeedReader, Daypop, and Popdex addictions, I check Daypop and Popdex throughout the day for the most linked to and the most looked at news and blog articles.) At least I can't be faulted for not being "up" on current events, right?

And speaking of Daypop... through a link there came this article. My response: Is this guy on crack or what?
