This American Life

Last weekend while running errands I had to stay in my car for the full of This American Life's Act Two. Go to the above link, into 2005 archives & listen to the story called "My Big Break".

Fast Forward about 24 minutes to get to Act Two.

What Happens in Baghdad, Stays in Baghdad. Two young men, Jeff Newmann and Ray Lemoigne, decide it'd be interesting to be part of the rebuilding of Iraq. So they take a bus to Baghdad, during the war and the bombings and the kidnappings ... and try to make their mark. Jen Banbury, who wrote for Salon.com from Baghdad, met Jeff and Ray there. She tells the story. (11 minutes)

It'll make you laugh & cry.
