#1 I wonder what they will do with them. Can they convict them of much? If so, how long can they hold them? Then what? Might be better to just fly them to Baghdad and let them go, with no 'right of return' or passports. (I don't suppose they could just fly them OVER Baghdad and let them go...)

#2 200 is a nice round number.
No mention of the size or composition of the cells.
I was thinking branch nodes of 3-5 leaves with one as the handler and 2-4 sleeper operatives, perhaps in teams of 3.
That rounds out to 600 heads. There would be a lot more exposure for an event of that size.

#3 200 cells phones I'd believe.
