Its difficult seeing an average American running off to Iraq on their own...with no introduction...no connections...etc. I think Nick had a connection...and it wasn't your friendly neighborhood type...it was a Muslim group who he thought he could trust. Nick probably found out it just was not the kind of group to hand out with on a Saturday afternoon...but it was too late.
I don't believe he was wandering around unescorted. I notice this piece left out the fact that he was offered a phone call home. He wanted to wait til he was in kuwait. Why?
John Gibson on Fox said he had talked to some U.S. contractors back from Iraq and was told there is no way any American would be running around the country with no attachment to any business or institution. Sounds a bit like a character in a graham Greene novel.
Yep...all good points. Whatever is going on here, there's more than meets the eye.
Maybe it was a group affiliated with his uncle (his aunt married an Iraqi and he met with his uncle's relatives in Iraq).
For an American Jewish man to be running around Iraq by himself, where Muslims abound, seems very strange to me. Very strange story.
I'm going to say this again...how does one get into Iraq without having a predetermined reason? Isn't there a border to cross? There are no civilian flights into Iraq. HOW DID HE EVEN GET IN?
