The evidence shows that Chalabi personally gave Iranian intelligence officers information so sensitive that if revealed it could, quote, "get Americans killed." The evidence is said to be "rock solid."

NEWSWEEK has learned that the General Accounting Office, Congress's investigative arm, is opening a probe into the INC's use of U.S. government money the group received in 2001 and 2002. The issue under scrutiny is not whether Chalabi prodded America into a war on false pretenses; it is whether he used U.S. taxpayer dollars and broke U.S. laws or regulations to do so. Did Chalabi and the INC violate the terms of their funding by using U.S. money to sell the public on its anti-Saddam campaign and to lobby Congress?

NEWSWEEK learned that top Bush administration officials have been briefed on intelligence indicating that Chalabi and some of his top aides have supplied Iran with "sensitive" information on the American occupation in Iraq. U.S. officials say that electronic intercepts of discussions between Iranian leaders indicate that Chalabi and his entourage told Iranian contacts about American political plans in Iraq. There are also indications that Chalabi has provided details of U.S. security operations.

Sources have told Stahl a high-level investigation is underway into who in the U.S. government gave Chalabi such sensitive information in the first place..."

Howlin etc---this needs to be pinged, but I don't have a list......

[spyone]

They will be going after Dick Cheney on this. He has always been Chalabi's buddy.

[fhayek]

I hate to use a broad brush, but I wouldn't trust anyone in Iraq with anything.

A senior coalition official said several people were arrested and that arrest warrants were issued for "up to 15 people" on allegations of "fraud, kidnapping and associated matters."

[EGPWS]

We need a panel of has-been Democrats formed to decide if this can in any way can be construed as Bush's fault.

[stlnative]

ooooooooooooooo

Sources have told Stahl a high-level investigation is underway into who in the U.S. government gave Chalabi such sensitive information in the first place.

If true it brings into question the recent assassination of the IRC chairman. However; from what I have heard and read the raid yesterday was centered on the UN oil for food scandal. I think we need to wait a bit before we jump to conclusions.

[MJY1288]

Send him to Abu Graib

[ClancyJ]

And just why are we supposed to care what the dems say?

Let them chatter amonst themselves.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I think that is next. It came to my thoughts as well.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Better yet, send him to Jordan. Chalabi was sentenced to 22 yrs for bank fraud there. He'll wish he was in Abu Graib.

[Destro]

What a dumbass.

Who? Bush? Cheney? Rumsfeld? Wolfowitz? Clinton?

[Piranha]

Now CBS's reporting is incontrovertedly true?

[Destro]

It's not Bush's fault - it's Cheney's and Rumsfeld's.
