Kickstarter Update: Send Me Back to Afghanistan!
I'm trying to raise travel expenses to go back to Afghanistan via Kickstarter.
I need $25,000 (covers part of the travel, that's all). So far, 41 backers have put up $3,355.
So I need $21,645 more.
My plan is to return to the same places I saw in 2001, now under control of the neo-Taliban, to see how life has changed since then. Also planning to spend time in the most remote part of the country, the southwest desert along the border with Iran, to visit people who never see the foreign press. Best of all for politically-minded people, construction of the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline is now underway near Herat! I'll go get the exclusive untold story of one of the main reasons we invaded Afghanistan--photos too, natch.
I'll write a book about the experience (publishers already offering advances in US and France), blog from in-country, and write columns and cartoons too.
If you'd like to support my project to get the untold story from the frontlines, click the link.
