Comments: Readers look to newspapers, and their sites, for penetrating stories and detailed portraits of people thrust into extraordinary situations. “Echo Company,” a first-person account of the ambush and deaths of 12 U.S. soldiers in Iraq, more than delivers on those expectations. A joint project from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Knight Ridder Digital and Knight Ridder’s Washington, D.C., bureau, “Echo Company” vividly describes the violence that claimed these lives with photos, video and voices of loved ones who mourn their loss.
