Of course, it would be nice if Iraq said, "Here - each of you gets $1.5 mil for helping us out and then getting tortured for it."
But, once again, if the new government were to do that, it would be inundated with its own people coming with their [probably legitimate] claims for restitution for their personal suffering. If they say "No", then they send the message that the US military personnel are more important than their own people. I don't see such a voluntary payment being made.
