FYI..Actually..FOX stole him from CNN.. He was a stringer in Afghanistan..had been in the region for a while..had some contacts..and was in the right place when 9/11 occured..one of the few western reporters who knew anything...CNN hired him on some type of free-lance basis..I guess he wasn't contractually bound..and FOX gave him a big contract..so he jumped.. I remember when he was interviewed on one of the Fox shows after he came back to the states for leave..after the Taliban fell...everything in Sfghanisatn was cash and carry..hire trucks, bodyguards..rent a house..and prices were exhorbitant..he said that FOX, when they hired him...sent him a producer and a cameracrew, and several suitcases filled with cash....LOTS of it...He said that FOX wasn't too worried about his expense account

You have to admire anyone with "cajones" big enough to do what he's doing. I'm sure there are many nights where he didn't sleep real easy, if at all. He's so mild mannered, nondescript and under the most horrific circumstances, just tells it like it is and gives, in all cases, the best one shot report. He's great.......here's what I see in his future.........he keeps reporting, giving his great field reports from the middle east, and in a few years, comes home, marries well and gets one hell of a book deal. I know I would buy it. Retires, buys a big boat and spends all day polishing his cleats......hahahaha!!
