After watching the news last night on ABC about the looming war with Iraq, one thing is very clear: this is the new age of instant information. From images from flight decks (below) to live newsfeeds from the desert, the media is going to be giving us a whole new look on what the frontlines are like. This is a far cry from Vietnam and reporters having to send their film out of country to be processed and edited by the news stations back in the States. I just hope and pray that this will be over quickly.
