One other important thing I was told tonight about l'affaire Chalabi. Those who are in the position to know what Chalabi passed to Iran -- Wolfowitz, Cheney, Feith -- have very loudly not offered any defense of him for more than a month and a half. At Feith's appearance at AEI May 4, he decidedly did not rise to Chalabi's defense at Danielle Pletka's expression of bewilderment why the US had stopped supporting the de-Ba'athification program. The only defenses one is seeing are from the likes of Perle, Ledeen, etc., who don't know -- but are being wildly signalled by their friends to surrender on this one.
