PHOTO: Middle East Trip, Day 4 - Flying Over Baghdad Into the Green Zone

For Immediate Release:
Tuesday, March 22, 2005

Wearing my required 30 lb. flak jacket and helmet in order to fly into Iraq, we head towards the Green Zone.

Snippet from my blog:

'Good morning to everyone. It is 6:10 a.m in Kuwait. We are setting off in a moment to go to the airport to fly into Iraq. We woke up here in Kuwait to a beautiful sunrise over the Persian Gulf. News here of women trying to fight to get the right to vote. I feel like I have stepped back in time! Also, news of women getting DWV's - Driving Without Veils.

I know it will be a day I won't forget!'
