Juan Cole reports at Informed Comment that Ahmad Chalabi is reinserting himself into Shii politics.
Ahmad Chalabi is the party guest who refuses to leave. Never forget: this is the guy who fed the Bush-Cheney bunch plus credulous journalists like the NYT's Judith Miller all the bogus intel about WMDs in 2002 and 2003. That bogus info underpinned much of the famous Colin Powell presentation to the UN Security Council.
