#1 Obviously, there are some disconnects between the Interim Govt and the Iraqi Judiciary...

"The announcement came a day after Chalabi returned to Iraq from Iran to face the charges against him and underscored a lack of coordination between Iraq's Central Criminal Court and law enforcement here less than two months after the interim government took power here.

'There was and there is now no intention to carry out any measure in this regard until finalizing the legal measures,' Interior Ministry spokesman Sabah Kadhim said, referring to the arrest warrant."

Growing pains.
