Uncensored Iraq Footage On History.com

According to TechWeb, History Channel plans to deliver military footage from Iraq and Afghanistan on its Web site, History.com.

"Band of Bloggers is one of several original digital brands that History.com announced Monday, signaling a reliance on user-generated content and focus on current events as history in the making.

The History Channel promises that soldiers with handheld video cameras will provide the site with "uncensored news" and a "perspective on war never before seen in history." An expanding pool of military bloggers will deliver content from the battlefield via cell phones and the Internet, according to a news release from History.com.

It is not clear yet whether the company will gain military approval or how it may develop policies to ensure that the content does not violate U.S. or international policies."
