An Afghan Holiday
I think the best way to really get an idea of the full story behind Jack Idema is to listen to the radio interview below which is about 15 minutes long. A NY station interviews Jack from his cell in Afghanistan.
It covers 9/11 in a way ive probably never been exposed to or really understood fully and frankly is a pretty scary story. You cant really dismiss the story when you get to grips with where Jack is and why he is there. Quite simply.
Then there is the fact that this guy is stuck in a part of the world the BBC tried hard this evening to publicise as the next big thing in tourism. 30 years ago im sure the odd hippy probably liked to follow some magic trail around the bleak landscape but right now it's a hole and this guys is stuck in it.

Well said! (And don't worry about posting late -- One thing about posting U.S.-mainly interest stories is the six-hour jump we have on EST. Heh.)
