Iraq Seeks Arrest of Ahmad Chalabi: "Iraq has issued an arrest warrant for Ahmad Chalabi, a former governing council member, on counterfeiting charges and another for Salem Chalabi, the head of Iraq's special tribunal, on murder charges, Iraq's chief investigating judge said Sunday.
The warrant was a new sign of the fall of Ahmad Chalabi from the centers of power. Chalabi, a longtime exile opposition leader, had been a favorite of many in the Pentagon but fell out with the Americans in the weeks before the U.S. occupation ended in June.
His nephew, Salem Chalabi, heads the tribunal that is due to try Saddam on war crimes charges. "
Wait for his defenders in Washington to trot our their idiotic spiel defending this crook.
