"Wherever they are, they should be afraid of some Iranian secret agent turning them into dog food. Iran can't afford for them to start talking now."

I wonder what valuable info they have if kept alive and made to sing.

[Howlin]

There was a lot of harsh criticism from the left

And some on our side, too.

"I can't believe I'm the first -- Iran, of course.'

Thanks. Besides being old, my poor old brain was made worse by a late lunch. So I didn't list Iran.

You and others re Iran (emails from lurking relatives) are probably correct.

[Grampa Dave]

CNN now has Ahmed Chalabi on the phone from Tehran, Iran.

Hate Bill nailed this.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Thursday that she suspects a cabal of "pro-Chalabi supporters" inside the Bush administration forced CIA Director George Tenet to resign.
"I was struck by the timing since the whole controversy around Chalabi is heating up and Chalabi blames the CIA for his problems and there are a lot of pro-Chalabi supporters still at the highest levels of the administration," she told reporters.

And Iraq's chief investigating judge says a warrant has been issued for Salem Chalabi (SAH'-lem CHAH'-lah-bee), the head of Iraq's special tribunal, on murder charges.

Head of Iraq's special tribunal? Salem Chalabi's job was to do what?

Have anything to do with Saddam's trial? I worry that Saddam will slip the noose.

It would be very interesting to know his Iranian contacts were and when. Then what info got transferred by both parties.

I guess the Bush administration was right again. There was a lot of harsh criticism from the left when we distanced ourselves from Chilabi and made accusations against him.

Well that's one way of putting "we were right" ... after we were wrong for trusting him in the first place.

This is the first I have heard of the death penalty being reinstated. Good news.

[upchuck]

I'm confused. So what else is new?

These guys are related and have the same last name but it's not pronounced the same for both? From the article:

Ahmad Chalabi (AHK'-mahd SHAH'-lah-bee)

Salem Chalabi (SAH'-lem CHAH'-lah-bee)

Maybe a typo in the article?

Iraqis reinstated the DP this am I think, here is a snippet..

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq reinstated capital punishment for people guilty of murder, endangering national security and distributing drugs, the government announced Sunday, saying the death penalty was necessary to help put down the country's persistent insurgency.

The announcement came a day after the government offered an amnesty to Iraqis who committed minor crimes since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime last year. The two laws were part of a carrot-and-stick approach by the government to try to put down the 15-month-old campaign of violence.

Capital punishment was suspended during the U.S. occupation. Under Saddam's regime, some 114 offenses could garner the death penalty. The new law was more restrictive than that had been.

"This is not an open door to execute anyone and everyone, or people whom the government dislikes. This is not Saddam's law," Minister of State Adnan al-Janabi said.

Many Iraqis also wanted the death penalty reinstated so it could be applied to Saddam, who faces trial on war crimes charges. It was not immediately clear how the new law would effect Saddam......

Hopefully they will make it retroactive, it wouldnt be fair to deprive Saddam of this right.

[nuconvert]

I noticed that too. lol

"Ahmad Chalabi (AHK'-mahd SHAH'-lah-bee)

Salem Chalabi (SAH'-lem CHAH'-lah-bee)"

It Shahlahbee much easier to keep it straight if we called them ahmed and salem.

[Mo1]

I was watching FNC earlier .. what is this about Chalabi knowing who was involved with the Oil for Food Scam and the UN ?

It sounded like someone is trying to shut Chalabi up

[OXENinFLA]

I think I head Chalabi and his son now have warrants for arrest put on them by the Iraq Gov't.
