He’s getting a lot of press for this, which is awesome and well deserved. I’ve seen this on at least five other blogs (including mine).
I’m glad he’s getting the attention. He does a great job of shedding some light on the real story over there.

I have written to Michael Yon on several occassions, and with all that he is doing for our guys in Iraq with his superb reporting, and he takes precious time and answers my email even if it’s a One-Worder. I have come to depend on Michael for the truthful news of events in Iraq. It is not always so pretty and nice to read, but it is truthful!
I just hope that every body realizes that Michael is not reporting from a hotel in Iraq where it is in some degree “safe”. He is right up there on the front lines and even put his life on the line to protect the men he is with. A “Warrior-Jounalist”. This is the kind of guy that you want watching your back!
