From today’s Washington Post:
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Maybe it was the time the taxi dumped him at the Iraq-Kuwait border, leaving him alone in the middle of the desert. Or when he drew a crowd at a Baghdad food stand after using an Arabic phrase book to order. Or the moment a Kuwaiti cab driver almost punched him in the face when he balked at the $100 fare. But at some point, Farris Hassan, a 16-year-old from Florida, realized that traveling to Iraq by himself was not the safest thing he could have done with his Christmas vacation.
And he didn’t even tell his parents.
Apparently this was all part of a high school journalism project. I’m not sure whether to call this kid incredibly gutsy or incredibly stupid. And just how is it possible for a 16 year old to sneak off to Iraq without his parents knowing ? Nonetheless, as Michelle Malkin says, this kid needs to start blogging.
