Indeed, even as evidence of the Iraqi's alarming lies and dangerous disloyalty to his Washington paymasters mounted, the Bush administration remained allied with Chalabi, who now serves as Iraq's deputy prime minister - thanks to his alliance with Iranian-tied Shiite parties operating in Iraq. And he has returned to Washington this week as an honored guest of the Bush administration. He will meet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Treasury Secretary John Snow and, perhaps, his old mentor, Cheney.

Chalabi, who should be under arrest, is instead getting the royal treatment.

Why? Because in the Washington of George Bush and Dick Cheney, the rule remains: once a crony, always a crony - no matter how much damage you do the United States...>>
