War of the Frontmen in the New Iraq
By PATRICK COCKBURN
The most farcical moment since the start of the Iraq crisis came last
weekend when Ahmed Chalabi, the Pentagon's choice to rule Iraq only
last year, was accused of counterfeiting by Iraq's chief investigating
judge. His nephew Salem Chalabi, whom the US put in charge of
organising the trial of Saddam Hussein, is accused of murder and is
refusing to return to Iraq.
The charges are the outcome of bureaucratic warfare in Washington. The
Chalabis have long depended on their friends among the civilians
running the Pentagon and neo-conservative officials elsewhere in the
Bush administration. They have been hated for years by the CIA and the
State Department. It is the latter, increasingly in the ascendant, who
are now wreaking their revenge.
