Band of Bloggers to Air Uncensored Iraq Footage

It seems like the History Channel is going to add to its online trove of non-Hitler footage.
The History Channel promises that soldiers with handheld video cameras
will provide the site with "uncensored news" and a "perspective on war never
before seen in history." An expanding pool of military bloggers will deliver
content from the battlefield via cell phones and the Internet, according to a
news release from History.com.

Now this is the equivalent to "as it is happening" war diaries that would be invaluable to historians who will be writing about the Iraq war in years to come. It should be interesting to check out from a amateur historians point of view.
