This small video blog operation equips Iraqis with cameras and other gear to go out and get the kinds of stories that foreign journalists can’t. An example of new media on a shoestring, as well as a better window into what, say, the Shatt al-Arab looks like on any given patrol day, or how crowded Basra’s streets were during last year’s Ramadan.
