The last time America fought a war, the Web was in its infancy, supporting text and minimal graphics, but not much more. Today, that's all changed.
Each of the television networks listed to the left offer a wealth of archived streaming video on their websites as well as various types of rich media presentations, and all have made extensive use of those capabilities since the terrorist attacks on September 11.
