cellioThere is something distasteful about the popular desire to watch a war in "internet time". Wars take time, guys; remember in the past when you made do with daily updates? I'd really rather that CNN, MSNBC, and the other news sites would go back to prominently covering other news. I should be able to find more hints of other doings in the world on the main pages of such sites. Sure, of course the current news from the war should be there, but what else aren't we seeing because it's taken over?
All that said, if you're looking for a summary of war news from varied sources around the world, check out http://www.agonist.org/ . I must conclude that the guy who runs the site has no job. I've been glancing at it about once a day to get the highlights, and I think it's providing better coverage than any of the conventional sources on the net.
