few american reporters venture into somalia. one who's made numerous trips there is jeffrey gettleman, east africa bureau chief for the new york times. he recently returned from a trip to mogadishu earlier this summer and joins us now from chicago. we talk of a violent uncontrolled place. what does mogadishu look like and feel like when you're there? >> well, one of the first forms you have to fill out when you arrive is a immigration form at the airport that asks for your name, address, birth date and caliber of weapon. it's still an incredibly lawless, dangerous experience to travel there. which is why there aren't many foreign aid workers or diplomats or that many journalists that venture in there. that said, life continues in a place like mogadishu. when i was there a few weeks ago i was happy to see a duty-free shop in the airport for the first time. so there is some normalcy returning, but it's incredibly dangerous out on the streets him there's fighting along, there's fighting between several different groups, even troops
