Ahmad Chalabi Speaks

Read this account of Ahmad Chalabi. What is interesting is that he is revealing his very close relations with the Iranian regime and its intelligence service as snuck into Iran as the US invaded. With him in those meetings with Iranian military and intelligence officials was none other than the democracy advocate (and poseur par excellence, Kanan Makiya). But what really appalled me is the way this Chalabi guy invoked the name of Hanna Batatu and his great book. Batatu was my teacher and mentor and I know what he would think of the channigians of Chalabi and his cohorts. Also, note the role that King Husayn played in the affairs leading ot the invasion of Iraq. (thanks Dan)
