#1 Chalabi worries me. He is more interested in his personal vendettas than in meaningful nation-building.

#2 Funny that an hereditary monarch believes "contacts with the people on the street" is a requirement to lead an Arab country.

#3 I dont think chalabi is worried so much about past vendettas, as the people saying nasty stuff about him now as part of maneuvering. Only makes sense hed do some countermaneuvering.

Ironic that Chalabi is attacked for being long out of the country, by a monarch who spent years outside of Jordan pursuing higher education, et al.

#4 If Foxnews was smart, they'd cozy up to Chalabi and get reprints of those files. More doozies are gonna come out (or be destroyed).

#5 There's going to be so much come out from the files of Saddam Hussein that hardly anyone will be untouched. I just hope that what comes out doesn't cause irreparable harm to people we NEED to trust right now. All this is also going to make establishing a working interim government that much more difficult. Unfortunately, there's no way to stop the information from becoming widely known. There are just too many files in unsecured locations, and just about anybody that can has already found things they can use.

#6 Yassir, work w/me here, you give Israel this and we give you, say, Jordan? After all, the queen is Palestinian. And we'll have Iraq give you good price on the oil.
