Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone

We are adding this Yahoo! News project, which starts tomorrow, to the links. You may remember Sites from the controversy after he videotaped a Marine in Fallujah last year executing a wounded and apparently unarmed insurgent. Here's how Yahoo! describes it:

A solo journalist ("SoJo"), Sites will carry a backpack of portable digital technology to shoot, write, edit, and transmit daily reports from nearly every region of the world. You'll be able to follow his endeavor through stories, photos, video and audio, and you'll be able to interact with him.
Their ambitious mission: To cover every armed conflict in the world within one year, and in doing so to provide a clear idea of the combatants, victims, causes, and costs of each of these struggles -- and their global impact. With honest, thoughtful reporting we'll strive to establish Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone as a forum for information and involvement. Users will not only learn about the scope of world conflict, but will find ways to be part of the solutions -- through dialogue, debate, and avenues for action.
