I love it! I can almost picture myself scampering for safety when the shoot-out begins...and diving into the mud trenches when the RPG wheezes by unsuspectingly. Just ghw are you able to keep your cool, ensure your work is "iconic" and still come out of there alive? I think it takes alot of courage and will power to even want to cover such areas. Are you sure you're sober when doing it or do usually have to sniff abit of "something" to help you stay focused and alert? You're my hero O'Reilly...you've made my day. You really have. Thanx and keep up the good work :-) Hey Finbarr! your account of covering Afghanistan with the Canadian soldiers is very eye-opening especially for persons interested in being journalists and covering war-tone regions.
