Dean Godson has a good piece in The Times on the re-emergence of Ahmad Chalabi in Iraq. I'm convinced that Chalabi is a better judge of Iraq than the posers at State, CIA and MI-6 with their chosen strong men. Chalabi is indeed a good fighter for his nation and would never do anything to harm it. I guess Pericles put it best when he said:
"For there is justice in the claim that steadfastness in his country's battles should be as a cloak to cover a man's other imperfections; since the good action has blotted out the bad, and his merit as a citizen more than outweighed his demerits as an individual."
