#4  Pappy:
That's only because they were driven to ties with the "enemy" (don't forget the scare quotes) because the military was targeting them. Just ask Linda Foley.

#3  One of the men, whom we later learned was an Associated Press correspondent with known ties to the enemy, is dead now.

So much packed into one sentence.

#2  Top quality reporting. His dispatches always sound like emails from my buddies in Iraq, except Mike can provide more detail than can Mil personnel.

Good stuff though, so far beyond politics and bullshit. I'm sure we'd all like to see more of this type of reporting, not just in war, but everywhere.

#1  Yon has become the reporter of the Iraq war. If he had a big newspaper behind him he'd be a shoe-in for a Pulitzer.

(Come to think of it, the big newspapers are behind him, in terms of relative foxhole location.)
