WarBlogging

The Daily Kos http://www.dailykos.com/ has been named the "Best Warblog" by Forbes Magazine - and it is not even a Warblog, as they note.
Digby  http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/ Most highly recommended; built in  BS detection & disclosure.
http://www.johnbrownlow.com/unintended/ (Unintended Consequences) is also a good source.
http://sgtstryker.com.cr.sabren.com/sparkey.htm   Tactical news, but well selected and informative.
http://www.singmind.com/singleminded/home.htm has a much more strategic and political view.
They even quote Lord Melbourne "Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle."
