Bill Roggio is an American commentator on military affairs.〔 〕 Roggio is the managing editor of ''The Long War Journal''.〔McLeary, Paul, "(Blogging the Long War )", ''Columbia Journalism Review'', March/April 2008, p. 36 (5).〕 Prior to leading a team of online commentators, Roggio published the online weblog ''The Fourth Rail''.〔 Roggio was an active duty soldier in the United States Army in the 1990s.〔 ==Long War Journal== Roggio and the ''Long War Journal's'' staff use reports from media organizations, including publications in countries where terrorists or Islamic insurgencies are active, such as in Afghanistan and Pakistan, then amplify and add historical context to what they find with information from their own network of US intelligence sources. In some cases, PMI has funded trips by its own media-credentialed journalists to report on war zones such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Philippines. Roggio, a former United States Army signalman and infantryman, uses his military experience to add strategic, operational, and tactical level context to the journal's reports. According to the ''Columbia Journalism Review'', "Roggio's greatest service, then, may be the way he picks up where the mainstream press leaves off, giving readers a simultaneously more specific and holistic understanding of the battlefield."〔Mcleary, Paul, "(Blogging the long war: Bill Roggio wants to be your source for conflict coverage )", ''Columbia Journalism Review'', 46.6 (March–April 2008): 36+, (3621 words).〕 The ''Columbia Journalism Review'' reports that the ''Long War Journal'' for the most part avoids political bias in its stories. The ''Review'', however, noted that Roggio has at times aligned himself with conservative bloggers on issues such as the "Easongate" controversy.〔 The journal states that it is a publication of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which describes itself as non-partisan but has been called "neoconservative" by various resources.〔Goldberg, Michelle, "(The 'Hero' of the War on Terror )", ''The Nation'', 10 February 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕〔(US News / Special: Empire Builders / Spheres of influence: Neocon think tanks and periodicals|Christian Science Monitor ), (archived )〕 The ''Long War Journal'' has been used as a source by media organizations or quoted in press publications including the ''New York Times'' (two of which were on the newspaper's front page),〔Bumiller, Elisabeth, and Thom Shanker, "War Evolves With Drones, Some Tiny As Bugs", ''New York Times'', 20 June 2011, p. 1.〕 ''Reuters'',〔Taylor, Rob, "(Senior Qaeda leader in Afghanistan killed - NATO )", ''Reuters'', 26 April 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕 ''Associated Press'',〔Straziuso, Jason, "(American extremist in Somalia releases 2 new rap songs on Internet )", Associated Press via ''Seattle Times'', 12 April 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕 ''United Press International'',〔''United Press International'', "Bin laden aide leaves Iran.", 29 September 2010 (wire service report).〕〔''United Press International'', "'Pretty sure' bin Laden son killed", 23 July 2009 (wire service report).〕〔''United Press International'', "Iraq security development slowed in 2008", 16 January 2009, (wire service report).〕 ''Sunday Times'',〔Lamb, Christina, "School bombing exposes Obama's secret war inside Pakistan", ''Sunday Times'', 7 February 2010 (correction published on 15 February 2010 noting attribution to the ''Long War Journal'' was accidentally omitted), p. 27.〕 ''The Hindu'',〔Joshua, Anita, "Senior Taliban leader killed in drone attack: report", ''The Hindu'', 21 December 2010〕 ''Cable News Network'',〔''Cable News Network'', (A top insurgent in Afghanistan killed, coalition confirms )", 26 April 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012〕 the ''Times of India'',〔''Times of India'', "(What happens to global jihad after Osama bin Laden's death? )", 4 May 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕 ''The Australian'',〔Neighbor, Sally, "(Libya ripe for jihad's rallying cries )", ''The Australian'', 26 April 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕 ''CTC Sentinel'',〔''CTC Sentinel'', July 2009.〕 ''Time'',〔Thompson, Mark, "(Battleland: Mullen Talks Tougher in Pakistan )", ''Time'', 21 April 2011; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕 ''The Nation'',〔 ''Washington Times'',〔Lake, Eli, "(Terrorist hit puts Pakistani reporter under fire )", ''Washington Times'', 25 May 2010; retrieved 30 April 2012.〕 and ''The Atlantic''.
