Live From Kuwait - Apparently done by a civilian in Kuwait, mostly commentary.
Lt. Smash - The URL changed some time ago, but El-Tee is still going strong.
Primary Main Objective is up, but nothing new since the 24th.
Grant Haller, a photographer for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and M.L. Lyke from the same paper were on the USS Lincoln. However, they've just posted that they're coming home as of the 26th.

I share Instapundit's fear for Salam Pax...

Thanks a lot, BBC and CNN, for publicizing Salam Pax's blog. A very public death warrant indeed.

yes, I was wondering if Salam was one of the many pressed into the armed forces at gunpoint, or if something even more sinister happened. I have an active imagination (that really has no basis except from reading things like his blog) about what goes on in Saddam Town.

His blog is still on the frontpage of Google News in the Sci/Tech section, and the SF Gate asks after Salam along with other news sources.

I just realized (ok, I'm slow) that it might just be that Baghdad's internet access has been interrupted. It happened once for a couple of days, possibly it's more long-term now (what with the bombs flying about and all)

The first couple of days of his absence are not explainable. After that, the US started publicly targetting the general communications infrastructure, so I agree with the previous commenter that internet access is now probably down in Baghdad.
