Chalibi is a criminal, wanted in other countries. He fed false information into the U.S. administration about Iraq befor the "war"; wants to reassume his power there and will try to do this by getting the phoney OIL bill through the weak, U.S dominated, government. Why he has ANY part in the Iraq situation indicates just how corrupt the whole situation is. Bush and cohorts are doing a "heck of a job" on us.

…and took me aback when he tried to frame that statement in the context of:

“The American people are perhaps MORE willing than we in the media to…”
