An All-Chalabi package at Slate. No Chalabi to be found at all at the Weekly Standard [-- for days now, editorial still trying to compare notes with their sources in OSD and their sources at AEI. Epic struggle.] I hear that certain individuals may have been interviewed, but by existing probes...Feith's press guy told me he is going on travel today for bilateral discussions [wonder with whom and what the purpose of those are; e.g. are they of the type, 'Marc, can I have my old office back?' or otherwise]. And Doyle McManus of the LA Times on NPR's Diane Rehme this morning, saying Pentagon is saying Chalabi's defector management program wasn't the only source for their pre-war Iraq intelligence. Clearly. That's not really answering the question. The key divide between current and former Chalabi supporters I'm told remains between those who've seen what Chalabi is alleged to have done, and those who haven't.
