And just do we expect Sean to be able to tell the world when he returns? I wonder what he will be shown.......certainly nothing Iraq doesn't want him to see.
I copied and pasted the whole article, encluding the links back to the homepage of the IPA site so if anyone wants to visit the site to see what kind of organization it is. Hope the links work after the paste.

Sean Penn Arrives in Baghdad for Three-Day Visit
The actor and director Sean Penn arrived in Baghdad on Friday morning at the start of a three-day visit to Iraq.
"By the invitation of the Institute for Public Accuracy, I have the privileged opportunity to pursue a deeper understanding of this frightening conflict," Penn said in a statement released in Washington and Baghdad on Friday. "I would hope that all Americans will embrace information available to them outside conventional channels. As a father, an actor, a filmmaker, and a patriot, my visit to Iraq is for me a natural extension of my obligation (at least attempt) to find my own voice on matters of conscience."
Penn's visit to Iraq has been organized by the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national U.S. organization of policy analysts with offices in San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
