I found this unconfirmed report posted to CNN's iReport about nine hours ago:

am writing from ballad Iraq as a employee of sallyport, ksillc..there are approx 500 US citizens on balad air base north of Baghdad trapped..we are part of a little known F16 iraq support mission here...The company has reportedly for the last 3 days to fly us out, we are now all herded into a central location on base..and being told nothing..The clint lockheed martin, DoS and most women have already been evacuated days ago but we are all still here. I hope this message is received by someone that can break this as headline news to bring attention to the situation for us..we are all worried and in dire straight as last security Intel reports Isis elements around us..

Remember how Obama said that we never leave a single US Troop or Citizen overseas, when trading 5 terrorist muslim generals for a single deserter US troop?

Yeah, these 200 contractors....

Yeah, not so much any more.

After all, they aren't enemies of America, so they do not qualify.

They don’t have a chance..... Outside of God’s interposition.

If you think about, that’s what America has enjoyed all these years.

Now THAT is completely plausible.

Strange that someone at Balad would misspell the name.

Looks like it’s 500 now.

Abandoning our own like they were disposable nothings.

Reminds me of a saying about how under totalitarian regimes all people are equal because they are nothing.

[Genoa]

Also strange to refer to one’s own unit as “little known.”

What is the definition of total despair? Waiting for Obama to come save your azz.

[SE Mom]

Holy crap. Thanks, Kristinn.

"Michael Lindsey" posting at Twitter has tweeted several appeals to help 600 he says trapped at Balad:

@Martin_Dempsey There are 600 American civilian contractors stuck in Iraq. Please help get them home. #Balad600

SOUNDS LIKE A JIMMY CARTER SITUATION.

I’ll bet these guys were all making a king’s ransom. But the problem is, the danger makes all money look like peanuts.

A friend of mine was doing this kind of work about 4 years ago. She's a Vet, was working as a civilian contractor, was required to carry a sidearm at all times. In six months time, doing network stuff she made $400,000.

I’ve often wondered about the phrase “history will remember...” True history is being erased and suppressed. Obama will be remembered as the savior who freed us from the KKK who run America. He faced unhinged racist in the Industrial Military Complex and their lapdog Tea Party extremist, but had to make tough decisions to sacrifice a few lives in order to bring peace and harmony with the aggrieved Muslims.
