In 1979, a woman writer from NY State decided that she knew more than the State Department, and against their warnings, took off for Iran. It was in the midst of the Iran Hostage event that lasted for 444 days. The writer thought she could get the hostages released. She got involved in plot/counter plot and was taken prisoner along with the other hostages.

My point? Why do ordinary citizens think they know more than the State Department?

My second point? Maybe we'll get lucky and Sean Penn will stick his nose into something Iraq doesn't want known, and end up a prisoner. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
