The Gates Of Delirium

Is this how combat will be covered in the future? I'm speaking of Michael Yon and his coverage of Deuce Four in Mosul -- a freelancer with a paypal button who knows the military. Yes, I've contributed, and if you want expert coverage of the War in Iraq, you should too. It simply amazes me that the best coverage has come from so called amateurs - Steve Mumford and Michael Yon. Sure, there has been some great professional coverage of the war, but it tended not to be sustained, and too much appears to have been lost somewhere between the reporter in the field and the delivery in your paper or TV.
