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.

Now we KNOW the wheels are coming off

In one of the strangest stories I've heard so far it seems that a joint Iraqi/US force entered Ahmed Chalabi's compound in Baghdad and grabbed a bunch of documents. Chalabi, for those who don't know, is a total scumbag who was the main "source" of fake information about Saddam's "WMD." He's been the guy the US has wanted to put in charge of Iraq since before the war started. He's Cheney and Rummy's guy. Which probably explains why Rummy sounded shocked and dismayed when he walked out of the congressional hearings and into questions about the raid. He stammered and ultimatly dodged the question. Chalabi claims it was the Iraqi faction of the Coalition Provisional Authority who was responsible. That's probably true, they know he's a crook. It's going to be interesting to see how much money we pay the bastard to forgive us.
