US raids Chalabi
Reuters reports "U.S. troops and Iraqi police raided the home and party offices of Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi on Thursday."
This may be a significant development.
Chalabi was once the neo-cons' favorite Iraqi, and source of much of the faulty assumptions they used in planning the war. Salon's Andrew Cockburn reports (speculates?) that Chalabi "was putting together a sectarian Shiite faction to destabilize and destroy the new Iraqi government," thus prompting the raid.
