Chalabi's nephew, Salim Chalabi, said the forces entered his uncle's home, put a gun to Chalabi's head and threatened him.
Describing what his uncle told him, Salim said the forces were "looking for something" and were upset with Chalabi. Rest of the story from [link|http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/20/iraq.main/index.html|CNN] Wrong address? Didn't recognize him in his pjs? ;-j

Re: How to win friends
News reports that the US is upset with him playing both ends against the middle and providing false information to the US prior to the invasion.

Love this bit
Senor said questions about the raid should be addressed to the Iraqi police. "It was an Iraqi-led investigation, an Iraqi-led raid. You really have to wonder how he can says things like that with a straight face. That is a statement so absurd that Wolf Blitzer challenged it on air. Jay

Tin hat time
Get him really pissed. Then turn control over to him. He tells Shrub, "get out of here." Shrub has the excuse to pull out the troops (plays well in the heartland) saying "we won't stay where we're not wanted."

If they were serious about wanting to 'get' Chalabi ...
Just send him to Jordan & advise the authorities which border crossing to wait at.
Game set & match.

No no not Chalabi!!!
Leave it to this administration to waste-and-bungle yet another potentially workable idea.
