Gonzo Dispatches from the Front
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 12.29.01 | 11:57 PM ET
A pair of twenty-something American travelers who apparently entered war-ravaged Afghanistan are filing dispatches on their website. They’re either courageous or crazy or both. Whichever, their Tora Bora tales and angst-ridden musings offer a unique perspective on the devastated nation, as well as the media covering it. “We are here to see what it’s all about for ourselves, with our own eyes; unmediated by camera lens or agenda,” they write. “We maintain this site because most of you will die soon without any idea of what any of this is like beyond your paranoia and fear as fostered by the assumed reality of your television.” Their journey has been covered in several newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times.
