We were doing a story on Iraqi villagers (I don't recall they were nomads, despite the file title) who were suddenly living on Kuwaiti land when the borders were redrawn after the Gulf War. It was impossible to get the standupper done. The dry desert air kept taking the moisture out of my mouth whenever I spoke. The local fellows kept coming up to talk to me as I was recording. Our driver becam...
