He didn't throw his life away. At worse, he may have lost his job, possibly even some minor jail time. Hell, with the good reception he got in the Arab world, he probably didn't even get any of that. If he's no longer allowed into presidential press conferences (likely), they will probably just relocate him, or keep him as a Iraqi correspondent. (He works for a TV station in Cairo, so he's a foreign correspondent.)
Actually, it looks like
his boss supports the action and is demanding they release him.
