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.

The U.S. should set up a visa system for Iraq. If you don't have a visa, you can't come into the country upon penalty of arrest by Iraqi police.

The visa authority can be turned over to the Iraq Governing Council as soon as they're set up to do it.

It's not in the interest of the U.S. or the Iraqis to have the Code Pinkos there. Deny them visas and, if they sneak in, the Iraqi police can hold them in jail.
