A note from a reader who is a former US government <$NoAd$>official …
OK, the press has now understood that Chalabi was providing US intelligence to the Iranian intelligence service. That’s a start.
Here are some questions you might want to ask.
Where did he get the intelligence to leak? Who gave Chalabi the leaked classified information?
Was it lawful to provide Chalabi with classified USG military information that included such things as where our troops were and what they were doing?
Who is under investigation as a result of the intercepts of the Iranians discussing the intelligence provided by Chalabi? Who are the investigators? Has this been referred to the Department of Justice?
Did his provision of that information to Iran result in the death of US soldiers in Shi’ia areas?
Are the intel leaks the reason for the raids of Chalabi’s home?
Are the intel leaks the reason they cut off his income?
Why did the USG say that Chalabi was not a “target” of the raids on his home? (It’s possible other members of his family are the ones who are being used directly to provide the intel to Iran.)
Hmmmm. Who were Chalabi’s US government interlocutors? What a mystery …
