If these allegations prove to be true, would it
involve charges of treason, as well as incompetence,
at very high levels? US loss-of-face would be huge in
the Mideast (as well as elsewhere, I presume). I
think I recall reading that Chalabi was not so
reliable some time before the war started - yet no one
in the government looked into that?
