Michael Yon, author of "Danger Close," is currently in Iraq and has an AMAZING blog that tells of his travels with the 1st Infantry Division (among other units) and their experiences in and around Mosul, Iraq.
Here's his link. It's definitely worth watching for updates. He was the photographer who snapped the now-famous photo of the U.S. Army soldier carrying a severely wounded Iraqi child to an Army hospital following a terrorist bombing a few days ago.
He follows up on many of his stories and the difference in coverage between what the networks report and what this guy reports are like night and day.
The media didn't bother to report that the same U.S. Army unit that was attacked in Mosul (where the famous photo was taken) went back to the same neighborhood the next day to see what they could do to help the families that had wounded or dead family members that the terrorists had hurt to get at the Americans. It's a very facinating read and goes to remind everyone that there's always more than one side to a story.
I hope you enjoy reading his blog as much as I did.
