Bill Roggio in Ramadi

"As the the Iraqi Army, Fallujah Police and U.S. military work to secure Fallujah, the war in the shadows continues. Insurgents rarely fight in the open. Their tactics consist of intimidation, drive by shootings, roadside bombs, indirect mortar fire and the increasingly dangerous sniper attacks." -- embedded journalist Bill Roggio

From Fallujah, where he's been embedded with U.S. Marines for weeks, Roggio provides this detailed first-hand account in his blog, The Fourth Rail. He served in the U.S. Army as a signalman and infantryman from March 1991 to December 1995 and in the New Jersey National Guard from January 1995 to March 1997. In addition to his blog postings, his articles have been published in The Weekly Standard, The National Review, The New York Post and The Toronto Times.
