Blogger Kidnapped, Murdered In Iraq
The word from Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters: Steven Vincent, the author of the blog and the book In The Red Zone on the war in Iraq, was kidnapped and murdered near Basra.
"This is quite a blow for everyone who cares about the Iraq issue, the blogosphere, journalism -- but most of all, for those of us whom Stephen touched in one small way or another," Morrissey wrote. "He knew the risks and went to Iraq anyway because he felt that the stories and voices of the Iraqi people must be heard. That kind of courage will be missed most of all."
Vincent's last blog post, dubbed "The Naive American," appeared July 19.
Other blogs covering the news and providing links include Michelle Malkin, PoliPundit and Tapscott's Copy Desk.
