We really don't know the whole story on his 'visit' yet.Until his movements there are verified and also who he was in contact with, he's suspect. I want to know his motives and, I'm certain, The FBI and Homeland Security will be keeping an eye on him. So many of the terrorists we have in custody used the cover of 'taking a trip' or 'just visiting' certain countries.
Yesterday I saw an interview on with two AP reporters who had talked to the boy. It seems that he went to the AP offices in Baghdad when he realized that he might been in a little over his head. He does not speak the language and his constant use of a phrase book was getting him quite a bit of attention. He was getting very nervous that if he turned down the wrong street that he might never be seen again.
He told the reporters that he wanted to work with the Red Cross. The reporters told him that due to the dangerous conditions there, there were few if any humanitarian groups in evidence and that included the Red Cross. They said over and over again that, due to the fact that he was very naive in his approach to his trip, they were stunned that he had made it as far as he had without coming to some harm.
