Iraqi authorities have detained a few hundred foreign contractors in recent weeks, including many Americans who work for the U.S. Embassy, The New York Times reported Monday. Citing unnamed industry officials, the newspaper said the detentions have occurred mainly at the airport in Baghdad and at checkpoints around the capital.
US troops completed their withdrawal from Iraq on December 18, leaving behind an Iraqi security force that officials said could maintain internal security. The contractors were detained after the Iraqi authorities raised questions about their documents, including visas, weapons permits and authorizations to drive certain routes, the report said. Although no formal charges have been filed, the detentions have lasted from a few hours to nearly three weeks, the paper noted.OBAMA HAS ESSENTIALLY GIVEN IRAN AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD A FREE HAND GLOBALLY.
AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: OBAMA HANDED IRAQ TO IRAN AS SURELY AS HE HANDED EGYPT TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
THE JIHADISTS SHOULD THANK OBAMA. WE SHOULD THROW HIM OUT OF OFFICE.

Obama isn't going to do a damn thing about this.
Interesting how this information doesn't appear on the evening or morning mainstream news.
