BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Khalid Kishtainy steps off a C-130 Hercules at Baghdad International Airport on Oct. 21. Kishtainy is an Iraqi novelist and columnist for the Asharq Al-Awsat Arabic newspaper in London. He was last in Baghdad in 1989 before he left for fear of his life. The former Saddam Hussein regime had two death sentences on Kishtainy for a book he wrote about the regime. The author grew up in Baghdad, and he considers it his hometown.
