Hot Marine Of The Week award goes to Lance Corporal Carey Floyd of the 1st LAR based in Camp Pendleton, California. There'll be blushing under burkas all over Baghdad, I bet. Also, Gawker.com gets asked "Is Bruce Weber an embedded photographer?".
Compare and contrast: this story about former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf's net fame (posted "Fri April 11, 2003 09:13 PM ET") with this story about former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf's net fame (posted "02:00 AM Apr. 14, 2003 PT"). How embarrassing for Wired ... beaten to the punch by old media. Or am I just being naïve about how this whole media thing works?
Some choice quotes from MSa-S himself: "My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all."
"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."
"We have placed them in a quagmire from which they can never emerge except dead."
