And you know they aren't going to let an Iraqi boy on a plane to Baghdad without a passport.

If you're 16 and older and can furnish your original birth certificate/old passport/naturalization documents, a photo ID (license, permit, state or school), and the $$$ for the application and processing fees, you don't need parental consent to get a US Passport. There are some instances where parental consent may be required, but usually it's for special circumstances. When I used to work at the passport office at school, I'd get 16-17 year olds coming in by themselves to turn in applications, usually in March so they'll get their passports before summer break. Their applications were accepted, no problem.
If you're a minor and cannot provide an ID, then a parent/guardian must sign for you.
