message: Surprised to see there's a question about whether this is a notable person or not. I came to the page from a google search of his name. I remember the news story well and always mention it when teaching "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong" from Tim O'Brien's THE THINGS THEY CARRIED to my college students. That story's premise is that a civilian (girl) flies into Viet Nam during the war. Most question the premise's realism. Farris Hassan's trip to Iraq is the most notable and recent real-world analog. 
This guy is getting tons of press, and there is a lot we could write about. He also wrote an essay that the AP is reporting as a symbolic outreach. Tfine80 23:22, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry if I'm a bit late.  I just noticed the comments on this page and had to chuckle at the irony.  This kid has the balls to fly to Iraq (with or without protection, blah blah blah) and his detractors don't even have the courage to sign a username when they comment on his discussion page.  But here, let me help you.  Let's figure out if the problem is that his family has more money than you'll make in a lifetime, that he displayed more courage than you can dream of having, or that as a result of the attention he's garnered, he's going to get more and better pussy than you could ever get close to.

message: How is the fact he was a debater and in a political club only trivia? Considering the nature of the story, this information seems like it has some relevance to why he did what he did. Tfine80 21:40, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: :Image:Iraq.odyssey.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
