The Mystery deepens.

The Chalabi web got a whole lot more complicated today. Now it's being (vastly under) reported that he was an agent for Iran, and may have been from the git go. So now comes the really big question. Is he really?
There seems to be two main possiblities to my cynical mind.
One, Chalabi really has put one over on the Rummy and the boys and really is a spy for Iran.
This is the more likely scenario.
Less likely, but still possible, they're doing this to start a war with Iran. This idea is a whole lot scarier and frankly I wouldn't put it past this particular group of thuggo murderers.
Chalabi goes home but finds that he hates it. There's no electricity, the phones don't work, and he needs a big mob of security around him to take a piss. So he agrees to be a fall guy to frame the Iranians and create the first building block in the argument to invade Iran. Again, highly unlikely, but possible, bone-chillingly possible.
