Well, Farris Hassan, a 16-year-old from Florida, sort of did that in a different way.
He travelled to Iraq. By himself.
The story of his crazy trip is here. It's pretty fascinating.
The kid is absolutely nuts, but you have to admire the fact that anyone would have the balls to go and do something like this. Not many 16-year-olds travel to Iraq by themselves and live to tell the tale.
I hope that he continues along this path and becomes a journalist someday. If he is willing to go to this length to do research and have this experience, imagine what he could do with official status and an organization behind him. Of course, knowing the fact that he is a little bit crazy to have done this, we'd probably just end up with another Geraldo. On second thought, maybe we should hope he picks another career path.
