#1 This is the latest - final? - twist in a bizarre story. When I last was in the know a few years back, the Bulgarian contingent had been assigned to run Ashraf. Pretty impressive, as incongruous military stories go: a central European military guarding fringe Iranian expat terrorists/dissidents/nutjobs/whatever in a US-policed Arab country.

I won't be surprised if the Iraqis find this a thorny problem. The question of finding a place to put these people, a country willing to take them as refugees, may not be so easily solved, if the period 2003-2008 was any indication .....
