Hey driving through Camden, NJ is just as bad. They won't let me carry an MP5 while driving there.

Good article!

My favorite part was the contractors who made Sean Penn stand in the rain for 45 minutes and hassled him! Got to love that wild west feeling!

I usually hate Tucker Carlson, his voice and his demeanor kind of make me want to punch him in the face, but that was a good article.

"Are people who don't like dogs even worth liberating?"-lol, so true, so true...and I'm not even a conservative like Tucker

Ha! This is my favorite part from the article so far. Serves that idiot Sean Penn right.

"The week before I arrived, Sean Penn came to Iraq on some sort of special assignment for the San Francisco Chronicle . The actor was getting out of a cab in downtown Baghdad when a group of contractors spotted him. The contractors didn't share Penn's politics. Plus, they found the idea of him annoying. So they took his camera and made him stand in the rain for forty-five minutes while they ran an imaginary security check on his equipment. There was nothing Penn could do about it. They had guns. He didn't. Tough luck."

There were three young Arab men inside. They were inches away from our driver's-side window, maintaining our speed and giving us hard looks. Kelly's voice never changed its tone. He raised his MP5 off his lap, extended it across Bill's chest, and pointed the muzzle at the men in the pickup. They hit the brakes hard, disappearing into our rearview mirror. Bill never took his eyes off the road. Kelly kept up the conversation as though nothing had happened.

Damn. Thats balls.

Nice article and very well written.
