NBHS student finds a war correspondent of his own
By RACHEL BOUDREAU, Standard-Times correspondent
Bedford High School senior Brian Harrington has an e-mail pal across the ocean.
The Internet brought him and Jaber Al-Sabah, a Kuwait resident, together even as war was raging in Iraq.
The two students met via a Buffalo Bills football team Web site. Mr. Al-Sabah, 20, is a college student at Kuwait University and follows the Bills.
"When I heard where Jaber was from, I didn't believe it," Mr. Harrington said. "But after talking to him I knew it was true because he would know things that were happening before we heard them on the news. He also sent me a newspaper article about himself with a picture."
So began the friendship between American and Arab.
Mr. Harrington then decided an interview about the war would be something he could share with his classmates.
Once Mr. Al-Sabah agreed, the high school student peppered his Kuwaiti friend with questions about how he feels about the United States, Saddam Hussein and the current war.
