Iraq apparently has a thriving market for folks who hack IEDs (looking at the creativity in their design is a testament to that). I probably get one or two inquiries a month from folks who are looking to make a "garage door opener that is hard to interfere with" from folks with IPs in that area (Libyia/Iran/Iraq/Saudi Arabia). I'm sure there is a huge garage door opening problem but I cannot in good conscience respond as effectively as I might like to someone who is really curious about wireless controls.

Part of the hacking ethic for me, and granted mine arose more from curiosity than some external motive of profit or 'lulz', is something along the Hippocratic oath of not doing harm. I would hope such a hackerspace in Iraq would have that as a pre-requisite for using the facilities, but I realize that one person's terrorism is another person's overthrow of oppression. I try to step out when it gets to debating the greater good.
