"This is amazing - civilians allowed to travel to a combat zone, to gauge the course of the war and deliver a message of peace to the Iraqis?"

I really don't get it how they can get transportation. To my knowledge the only way you can get in and out, let alone travel around, is military transportation. Why would our military transport these people?

My understanding is that there are some non-US carriers flying into Baghdad. That must be how they are doing it.
