Thumbs up The Jill Carroll Story

Anyone else been following this series from the Christian Science Monitor? I have to admit that I think that it is an excellent example of Journalism on the web, especially the way that they report the story from both the inside (Jill's perspective in her own words) and the outside (what the rest of the world was thinking and doing). Absolutely ingrossing and excellent. Verasimilitude runs deep in the piece -- I just don't get the impression that she's carrying an agenda as is often the case in the press. In this case she (and the rest of the team) are reporting the news in (what I believe to be) an excellently balanced fashion. So I'm sure that we can all learn quite a bit from listening to her. She also provides some great insights into who the enemy is in Iraq, and why they do what they do.

Thoughts?

(Let the spinning begin!)

I've read a couple of the installments and really want to go read the rest. I think it's excellent. Incredible insights.

Good stuff. This is the kind of insight we need to use to formulate a cohesive ME policy. Wish GWB and his group could read.
