Blog brings the war home

It appears that every blog has the potential to be a real TV station.The Star Tribune reports:

Kurilla, 39, formerly of Minneapolis, was wounded in a firefight in an alley in Mosul, Iraq, on Aug. 19. On Friday, the battalion commander had surgery and was recuperating at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash.

In a sign of how technology is changing the way in which the war is reported, anyone with access to the internet can see the graphic episode that put Kurilla in the hospital.

You've got to wonder what's the real value of the old, big, television networks?
