16 Yr. Old Runs Off to Baghdad
A Fort Lauderdale teen decided to spend Christmas vacation in Iraq to practice "immersion journalism" without a word to his parents.
He spent $900 on a flight, a stop in Lebanon, another in Kuwait, $250 in cab fare, nervous moments on the streets of Baghdad, fumbled for words in Arabic to order a meal, announced himself at the Associated Press office ready for duty, and was delivered to the US embassy by the 101st Airbourne.
