Is the Tank a milblogging disgrace? Huffington Post?
2007-12-02 20:59:00 The Huffington Post's Thomas Edsall blogged that National Review Online (NRO) blogger, W. Thomas Smith Jr. (Tank), may have been inaccurate in his reporting from Lebanon. Smith defended himself here, but the "just blogging" excuse didn't fly with either uberblogger Michelle Malkin or NRO itself. Two points: 1. He shamed himself and doesn't deserve to continue, if, by his own admission, he "fudged" the facts. 2. The Huffington Post should be embarrassed to condemn Smith while ignoring or defending the much more egregious anti-troop slander, Shock Troops, by newlywed Scott Thomas Beauchamp in the allegedly respected liberal journal, The New Republic. If a reporter is just going to play "gotcha" with journalistic scandals (You criticized my side, but what about you?"), then he should lose integrity. 3. The New Republic, who still hasn't apologized for the Beauchamp lie (and even defends it), can learn a lot from NRO.

Army Retreats on Milblogging
2007-05-04 10:45:00 Author: James Joynervia Outsidethebeltway.comThe Army has quickly backtracked on its new policy that would have effectively killed milblogging. In an official (yet, oddly, not-for-attribution) release, the military explains: In no way will every blog post/update a Soldier makes on his or her blog need to be monitored or first approved by an immediate supervisor and Operations Security (OPSEC) officer. After receiving guidance and awareness training from the appointed OPSEC officer, that Soldier blogger is entrusted to practice OPSEC when posting in a public forum. Indeed, they claim no real change was ever in the offing: Army Regulation 350-1, ?Operations Security,? was updated April 17, 2007 - but the wording and policies on blogging remain the same from the July 2005 guidance first put out by the U.S. Army in Iraq for battlefield blogging. Since not every post/update in a public forum can be monitored, this regulation places trust in the Soldier, Civilian Employee, F...
