The Command Post has rapidly emerged as an amazing repository of news, analysis, and rumor. I'm using it now as a primary source of web-based news on the war, as it has become a form of news supra-wire, organically using dozens of contributors to scour newspapers, TV news, and other web sites to post any related information.

I've been spending a lot of time with my faithful RSS reader lately. The feed from TCP is more timely, interesting, and increasingly unique content, putting more traditional news sources to shame. The "fog" means that much of the information the site provides turns out to be unreliable (complete bullshit at times) but it's less filtered, more raw, and more up to the minute than anything else out there. Conventional wire services such as AP or Reuters, or existing news supra-sites like Google News or Yahoo News are slow, repetitive, and boring.

Tip of the hat to the folks running and contributing to it...
