At War: Notes From the Front Lines

At War: Notes From the Front Lines – At War Blog – NYTimes.com:

Today, we introduce you to a new blog about America at war. This generation’s conflict, which began on 9/11, is nearly eight years old. Yet there are no signs that it will end anytime soon, with the Obama administration sending thousands more troops into Afghanistan and Iraq facing enormous military and political challenges as American troops withdraw. So “At War” — an expansion of our Baghdad Bureau blog — is a recognition that war is now, and will be, a defining experience for Americans. One of our contributors, Dexter Filkins, captured that in the title of his book about 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq: “The Forever War.”

Our aim is less commentary than boots-on-the-ground reporting, photography, audio and video. Despite financial constraints that have limited foreign coverage by many news outlets, Times reporters still go to places that matter. This year our team in Afghanistan and Pakistan won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting
