Is there a zebra in the house?

Security conditions in Iraq prevented Bachmann from meeting any Iraqis, leaving the Green Zone or staying in Iraq overnight. She and other congressional members were required to wear full body armor, including Kevlar helmets, during the entire trip, she said.

We need a call here. Does a Congresscritter's whole en-freakin-tire body have to be inside Iraq before he, or in this case, she can say she's been there? Or does she just have to get a fingertip or toe across the line, like in football? And does she have to stay there for any minimum amount of time? I mean, like, if the airplane just lands and takes off again, does that count? Do the wheels have to come to a stop?

I mean, I figure we're paying the travel voucher here, so we really ought to know.
