Bad news. Embedded MSNBC/NBC reporter David Bloom has died in Iraq:

David Bloom, an NBC News correspondent embedded with the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division outside Baghdad, died Sunday, NBC announced. Bloom, a 39-year-old husband and father of three, was the second American journalist to die in Iraq since the war began. His death was not combat related, according to NBC News.

I commented before that I thought his reporting, while rolling into Iraq was some of the best reporting I've seen. My condolences to his family.
