[news] Jordan Asked to Pardon Neo-Con Star Chalabi

[Resist!ca]

"Chalabi's Iraq National Congress, with the support of the neoconservative movement, help(ed) start the war that's killed at least 21 000 (maybe as many as 100 000) Iraqis. Chalabi's offices were later raided by American troops in 2004 for his role in selling military info to Iran. Now Chalabi is one of four deputy prime ministers of Iraq. Jordan is considering a request by Iraq to pardon Iraqi politician Ahmad Chalabi in a possible deal that would return millions of dollars a court accused him of embezzling in a bank scandal."
