Chalabi severs ties with US-led authority in Iraq BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraqi Governing Council member Ahmed Chalabi said his relations with the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority were "non-existent" after an overnight raid against his house. "My relationship with the CPA now is non-existent ..." he told reporters after claiming a firefight had narrowly been avoided between his guards and US-backed Iraqi police during the raid. "I am America's best friend in Iraq; if the CPA finds it necessary to direct an armed attack against my home you can see the state of relations between the CPA and the Iraqi people." The former Pentagon (news - web sites) favourite also called on US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) to hand over sovereignty to the Iraqi people without delay. "My message to the CPA is let my people go, let my people be free. We are grateful to President Bush for liberating Iraq (news - web sites) but it is time for the Iraqi people to run their affairs," he told a press conference.

Navel-Gazing In New Jersey By Captain Ed on Presidential Election - Captain's Quarters Those numbers have been around for a while; I saw them earlier this week and had the impression they were several days old then. I don't see any scenario under which Bush takes NJ; but these numbers could, as the writer suggests, lead the Kerry folk to divert resources to Jersey. Which would, obviously, not be a good thing. My own suspicion is they are tapping in to McGreevy's bad numbers more than finding judgments made about Kerry. That and the fact Kerry is still largely an unknown. Which will change with national advertising. But, keep it quiet, it does give me an ever so slight case of heartburn.
