I see a new ABC after school special on the horizon

how the hell does a 16 year old get enough money for airfare to Iraq without anyone noticing?

My thoughts exactly. :helpme

He had his own bank account that his parents gave him.

Easily gets my vote for idiot of the year.

journalists understand....even if he was a stupid kid

The family has $$... the dad is a Dr and the mom is a psychologist. The son had a brokerage account as he sold his stock.

Idiot of the year. Not hero.

What I am wondering is when a minor flys they must have a notorized signature of parent or guardian before flying solo...so how did he get that? I am sure he can forge that but there is more here i feel.

I've flown underage and didn't have to get anything signed.

This kid has balls. I dig it.

His flaw was lack of language skills. If he had that and ended up being a kid that got himself into Irag and talked to locals and got the 'real' story he would have just made his name in the industry. As it is, if his writing is any good, this is one heck of an application essay topic for journalism school.


Again, he was a bit stupid but I admire someone who when given an assignment about Iraq (or anywhere) thinks 'let me go find out for myself'.
