Lede: CNN's prisoner of war from Men's Journal

Rolling Stone-style new journo lede hits hard: “I am not the same fucking person,” he tells me. “I am not the same person. I don’t know how to come home.” It’s October, six months after our first meeting, and Michael Ware, 39, is at his girlfriend’s apartment in New York, trying to tell me why after six years he absolutely must start spending less time in Iraq. He’s crying on the other end of the telephone. “Will I get any better?” he continues. “I honestly don’t know. I can’t see the — right now, I know no other way to live.” [By Greg Vels, story at link.]
