Here is a new type of technology for online reporting, the panoramic picture. You can actually move the camera view to see a panorama of a site in almost any direction. I am guessing that it requires expensive equipment, because the only available pictures are from Basra and Umm Qasr, areas that are now considered rather safe. Scroll down the page past the video and audio to the Panos section to see some.

The outline for reconstruction of Iraq after the war as decided by Blair and Bush:
I. US & UK forces will maintain security while a sub-Pentagon department (Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Aid) controls infrastructure and aid
II. Formation of a broad-based, multi-ethnic interim Iraqi administration. UK will be looking for UN support of this administration. The goal is a UN resolution in order to create the administration, enable it to carry out substantial reforms and get rid of some of the laws which Saddam passed. The French are likely to support this resolution. Most analysts agree that this interim administration must not be seen as a puppet of the US.
III. Eventual move to an Iraqi government. Paul Wolfowitz says this will take longer than 6 months.
