Volkman Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:04:48 +0000 http://www.floppingaces.net/?p=9900#comment-118136 I would like to offer you a complimentary review copy of the new book by Iraqi ex-pat Issam Jameel "Iraq Through A Bullet Hole: A Civilian Returns Home". Issam was in exile for a decade working at a resistance radio station in Jordan for a while and finally settling in Australia. When he attempted to return to his homeland in the summer of 2005, he was overwhelmed by danger, chaos, corruption, in-fighting, and con-artists. His harrowing account is a vivid reminder that Mission Accomplished is not exactly that. http://ModernHistoryPress.com

Some have moved to Syria where it is safer. One moved to Sweden. All are afraid to return to Iraq. Their only crime is they helped us. The requirements of the state department prevent these valuable people from entering the US.

Mike,
I have been sending letters to the State department trying to get “3 terps” out of Iraq since they and their families have been threatened. Some have moved to Syria where it is safer. One moved to Sweden. All are afraid to return to Iraq. Their only crime is they helped us. The requirements of the state department prevent these valuable people from entering the US.
