Sattar had been a well-paid civil engineer. Now he drives the perilous 12 hours into Amman and 12 hours back to Baghdad, shuttling journalists and humanitarian aides, for a mere $300 per 24- hour round trip

Is it just me, or does this sound like a pretty decent wage? Two or three of these a week would make for a pretty comfortable living I would think. Come on Sean, you can do better than that can't you??

Sean Penn went to Iraq a year ago not as an actor, but as a father, a husband and an American.

Not as an actor? Oh....well, that's okay then...as long as he didn't go as an actor.

"What's new is this tiny seed and taste of freedom.

It is a compelling experience to have been in Baghdad just one year ago, where not a single Iraqi expressed to me opinions outside Baathist party lines, and just one year later, when so many express their opinions and so many opinions compete for attention."

Sean Penn

If he did say this ... BRAVO!!!

How about a little editing? I could not get through this article. It was poorly written and extremely boring.
