timeline of the media reaction to a local photog's trip to iraq [ericiniraq]
"was the fact that john camp and i were leaving for iraq really news worthy enough for half the mainstream media outlets in the twin cities to all cover it on the same day in advance of us actually doing anything? probably not, but as soon as one of them ran it everybody else started jumping on board..." this link goes to one of the dude's blogs, but minnpost is carrying their actual reportage. it's neat stuff, but it's not as gonzo as i would like. or as livebloggy. or as funny. so yeah, they probably should have sent me instead. no offense.
