There are a number of independent journalists currently embedded with troops in Iraq.
Most of you are probably familiar with Michael Yon, who was embedded with the 1/25 SBCT in 2005. He is back in Iraq and hopes to stay there for all of 2007.
Bill Roggio is currently embedded with a joint Army/Marine Transition team in Iraq, and is publishing dispatches on his website, The Fourth Rail. This is his third trip.
Finally, Bill Ardolino just returned from an embed with a Marine unit in the Al Anbar region west of Baghdad (Fallujah). He is filing exclusive reports in The Examiner, but also supplements them with information on his personal website, INDCJournal.
