Around the World with Mitt Romney

But now he's taking it to the next level, with surprise visits to Iraq and Afghanistan. This makes us wonder: Can anyone make a surprise visit to a war zone? First, it was just the President, then the Vice President, then cabinet members. But now governors? Can Bostonist make a surprise visit to Iraq, with the U.S. government footing the bill for super-high security, and then use all the heroic, all-American footage of our trip in campaign ads when we run for mayor of Somerville?
