Oceanside, Afghanistan & the FT

semperfi.jpgToday's Financial Times carries a story from Oceanside, Calif. on the differences in opinion in town over sending more Marines from Camp Pendleton to Afghanistan. The story, by Los Angeles correspondent Matthew Garrahan, is notable as a media moment of sorts for running on the web with the UK newspaper's first news video from Southern California. "It was shot and edited by Sean Ross, a very good local documentary/short film maker," Garrahan tells me.
