Go here and watch the Mellissa Fung interview. And wonder at her tranquility and bravery.
Having read a little and heard a little about her, I was surprised that people wondered whether she would return to reporting. Of course she would! The kind of reporter who heads to a war zone isn't the kind of reporter who leaps into PR after a bad experience. The kind of reporter who heads to a war zone - which, by the way, is not only a voluntary but a coveted assignment - that kind of reporter has it in her bones. The question for me, answered here close to the end of the interview, was never whether she would return to reporting, but whether she would return to Afghanistan. Two very different questions.
