An urgent investigation has been launched in Washington into whether
Iran played a role in manipulating the US into the Iraq war by passing
on bogus intelligence through Ahmad Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress,
it emerged yesterday.
Some intelligence officials now believe that Iran used the hawks in
the Pentagon and the White House to get rid of a hostile neighbour,
and pave the way for a Shia-ruled Iraq.
