"In dawn raids today, American troops surrounded Ahmed Chalabi [3]'s headquarters and home in Baghdad, put a gun to his head, arrested two of his aides, and seized documents," Andrew Cockburn writes. "Only five months ago, Chalabi was a guest of honor sitting right behind Laura Bush at the State of the Union. What brought about this astonishing fall from grace [4] of the man who helped provide the faked intelligence that justified last year's war?" According to Newsweek [5], "Bush administration officials say the latest intelligence indicates [Chalabi] may have been supplying the Iranians with information on U.S. security operations in Iraq that could 'get people killed.'" Chalabi later said the U.S. must leave Iraq [6]: "Let my people go. ... It is time for the Iraqi people to run their affairs."
