Article Abstract:

A soldier with the Stryker brigade in Iraq who posted riveting online accounts of war in Iraq has apparently made his last post, resulting in a sudden closure of a Website that drew number of readers.

The CBFTW's spokesman stated that a platoon sergeant and superior officer would review his blog entries before they were posted.
