Hmmm. How aggressively did the FBI look into which unknown and inebriated American official tipped Ahmed Chalabi to the fact that the US had broken a crucial Iranian code — a fact he reportedly then shared with the Iranians?
According to a November 7th 2005 article in the Journal by Scot Paltrow, the FBI never interviewed Chalabi for the probe when he made subsequent visits to the US. Never talked to the central player.
That’s telling and it fits a pattern. Remember, the FBI — notwithstanding a purported investigation into the Niger forgeries — never interviewed him either when he made two trips to the United States in 2004.
From my own reporting I know the FBI ‘probe’ into the Niger forgeries was a sham. Guess maybe the Chalabi one could be the same.
