The CIA and the UN worked assidiously to undermine, villify and discredit Ahmed Chalabi as an Iranian puppet. Turns out he's Iraq's most underestimated man - and its most visible democrat.

Mr. Chalabi had enough support to make a credible bid for the prime minister's post, only to drop out in the face of strong U.S.-Iranian lobbying (what's "strange bedfellows" in Farsi?) for the Islamist, Ibrahim al-Jafaari, who has proven to be an ineffectual leader at best
Seems Chalabi would have been a lot better than aljafaari. Maybe they would have come up with a real constitution instead of the present "No law shall contradict Islam" piece of toilet paper they have now.
Freedom is worth fighting for, Islam is not.

Ahmed Chalabi will go down in history as the great man of Iraq autonomy. I hope that when the country selects its first Prime Minister post-Constitution, Ahmed Chalabi will be selected. He is a courageous man who is relentlessly committed to his country.
