Bravo to blogs and journalists who use them. When the news clips of Saddam Hussein's capture were shown we all saw the outbursts of a few journalists, but nobody was answering the obvious question of just what they were shouting. Only after a lengthy online search did I find a BBC journalist who mentioned the outbursts with a little more detail than just the word "cheering."

BBC Television Centre :: Rageh Omar :: 1250GMT

...three or four Iraqi journalists jumped up and started shouting expletives and "death to Saddam Hussein" in Arabic.

In reality, it is hard to tell if this is an actual web log or just a log of reporters' news filings, but the message is the same. Unfiltered access to the frontline reporters, access to their raw thoughts and observations, is so important in a world that runs on information.
