Penguin Answer up / Cluetrain
Doc, thanks for the pointer to the penguins. The same game is available here in Germany and I reckoned that was the answer :-).
As to the Cluetrain mention - I DO think that all the coverage by weblogs and the media is bringing down the walls of military operations - if only just a little. There are less secrets than there would have been without embedded journalists and warblogs. Obviously there is also more smoke than there would have been without them as well. The military thinks that the increased coverage is in fact a security risk - which in some cases is probably also true. And (if they "get it") then they are probably already spinning their own warblogs....
But perhaps the most important fact (IMO) is that weblogs can allow us to voice personal opinions on this war in a way never before possible.
