America's first choice for the new leader of Iraq prior to the invasion in 2003 was Chalabi, who has a house in Iran. One of Chalabi's top aides was considered by many in the intelligence community to be an agent working for Iranian security forces. One of the top Iraqi's provided to the CIA by Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress was suspected of being provided by a 'hostile intelligence agency'.
Is perhaps the failure of the American invasion of Iraq, and the close association of the people who provided to majority of the pre-war intelligence in to the CIA (and the Whitehouse) to Iranian forces no coincidence...?
