to David Bloom, I think the best, most talented reporter of everything we have endured for the past 10 years. He was gifted, reporting in a style that was comprehensable to just about anyone who heard his reports.

He knew the dangers of being with the 3rd Army Division as they pierced their way toward Baghdad, the inevitable confrontation looming just over the horizon, and he embraced the mission, it was his life. It was what he did best.

He died of an embolism, natural cause, not from enemy fire.

I trusted his reporting, he seemed to give the complete story of what was going on around him.

We'll miss him..........
