Icon Sean Penn's recent accounts from Iraq

Here are some pointers to some articles written by Sean Penn and some others that deal with his most recent trip to Iraq.  I know this guy gets slammed in the conservative media for his actions concerning Iraq...but is it possible to read his accounts of visiting Iraq and really think his actions are treasonous?   I certainly see a man full of compassion for his fellow man.  Nothing more nothing less.  Anyway - at least read his accounts of his trip - the first two links.

Sean Penn writes in the San Francisco Chronicle about returning to Iraq: "It's a compelling experience to have been in Baghdad just one year ago, where not a single Iraqi expressed to me opinions outside Baathist party lines, and just one year later, when so many express their opinions and so many opinions compete for attention." Part two: 'Getting out of Iraq even tougher than getting in.'

Penn was in Iraq at the same time as a delegation of military families. The Arizona Republic interviewed a member of the delegation, whose son was serving in Iraq. Penn also met up with the editor of Iraq Crisis Report, which recently ran an article on the difficulties faced by Iraqi men named Saddam.
