Ahmad Chalabi is under arrest for counterfeiting. There is no way to know whether there is any validity to this charge. However, this is bad news for Bush.
If there is validity to the charge, it further reinforces the awful mistake the U.S. made when it backed Chalabi. If there is no validity to the charge, it indicates that Bush has installed a corrupt regime that is using the Iraqi judicial system against its political enemies. Either way, Bush made big mistakes.
