#2 possibilities

1. Its a State - CIA - Bremer thing, and Yes, we have shot ourselves in the head.
2. Chalabi pressed the money stuff too far, and DoD joined in a consensus that he simply wasnt worth it.
3. They really do think hes working with Iran, or doing something equally nefarious
4. Its all a charade, to make him look independent of the US, and the US more independent of Chalabi.

I'll keep an open mind.

Still the raid on Kanan Makiya, the author of "Iraq, Republic of Fear" and of many articles in the New Republic is VERY STRANGE.
