...Reverend was outrageous, even on Moyers. He stood by what he had preached after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks: that this was a case of America's "chickens coming home to roost."

He shared his flight back to England with two critically wounded soldiers. He admits he may be "a bullet magnet," a prize scalp for enemy forces and terrorists. Yet Harry has tasted something akin to ordinary life and he's eager for more. "It's bizarre," he mused in an interview recorded during his tour of duty.
