This spring, when he began writing about the families of soldiers who died fighting in Iraq, Blair and Hernandez crossed paths again. Now 28, she had found a job at the San Antonio Express-News; on April 18 the paper published her story about Juanita Anguiano, the mother of a missing soldier from Los Fresnos, Texas. Blair's article about Anguiano landed on the front page of the Times eight days later. Both were moving, vivid portraits of a mother's love and loss. But only one was original.

Later, as a benefits counselor for the Veterans Administration, he never mentioned that he had been in combat...
Plenty of war blogs are also posted by stateside armchair pundits. Sean-Paul Kelley, who runs The Agonist (at agonist.org) says traffic to his site has increased more than tenfold, to over 60,000 visitors a day, since the war began. From his home in San Antonio, Texas, the self-employed asset manager posts 10 to 20 news updates a day, culled from dozens of websites and media reports from such far-flung outlets as the Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald and the Army Times. Each posting gets about 100 replies, which are also posted online...
