Video Blog Shines Light on Iraq War

Paul F. Roberts writes in eWeek:

Those frustrated with the mainstream media's coverage of the Iraq War have a new source of information on the conflict: raw video footage from the conflict released under an open-source "Creative Commons" license.

Video footage from the Alive in Baghdad project has been released on video blogging site blip.tv. The video segments include the aftermath of bombings, Iraqi police actions and interviews with ordinary Iraqis living in the war zone.

The footage is being distributed for free in an effort to make U.S. citizens and the world aware of the everyday experience of Iraqis living in Iraq, according to documentary film maker Brian Conley.
