Assume that you are the same guy in charge of the intelligence services that have been accused by the U.S. of sheltering Al Queda types who fled Afghanistan. Yeah, after that saber-rattling by us, do you really us next door in Iraq?
Will the administration explain why Iran would have wanted us to invade Iraq?
If you don't know, I'm talking about Chalabi's misinformation. Its interesting, but I'm not sure I'm convinced Iran is behind it.

Interesting? I kind of think if either of these charges are true it's a pretty big f-ing black eye on whoever in the admin decided to put their (and our) trust in him. I realize the LAT may have a certain slant, but the stuff described in
this article is really frustrating, even without the sinister Iranian presence in the background.

A U.S. official confirmed that defectors from Chalabi's organization had provided suspect information to numerous Western intelligence agencies. "It's safe to say he tried to game the system," the official said.
A now-discredited INC defector to Germany who was code-named "Curveball" was the chief source of information on Iraq's supposed fleet of mobile germ weapons factories. Another INC defector who provided similar information was deemed a liar. So was an INC defector who said he had helped build 20 underground germ weapons laboratories.

We were paying Chalabi $340,000 a month up until
five days ago.
Or is it your point that there's smoke and no fire on this end as well?
