Go read Sidney Blumenthal in Salon on the investigation into who leaked to Chalabi.

A former staff member of the Office of Special Plans and a currently serving defense official, two of those said to be questioned by the FBI, are considered witnesses, at least for now. Higher figures are under suspicion. Were they witting or unwitting? If those who are being questioned turn out to be misleading, they can be charged ultimately with perjury and obstruction of justice. For them, the Watergate principle applies: It's not the crime, it's the coverup.

So the FBI has already paid a visit to people in the Pentagon, and questioned at least two, as witnesses for now.

I have heard from another contact that computers at certain offices of the Pentagon have been gone through by the FBI. I think this is going to get really interesting.
