Not quite the first post i had envisioned but .....

somethings just leave you baffled, angry and surprised . Thus was my reaction on watching Jon Stewarts interview with journalist Aram Roston on his new book about Ahmed Chalabi.
Bloody hell is an understatement about how Chalabi charmed his way (with the help of his "freedom fighting" group) to tell lies and run away with millions of american tax payer money and countless contracts for his family.
Isnt there supposed to be a watchdog for these sort of shenanigans? Or were the higher powers so desperate to find anything to start this war that they (with a pagebook from british colonial history ) made deeds with anyone no matter how chequered the past is?
Watch the interview here and judge for yourself
