Bush's "Honored Guest"?

From CBSNews:

Senior U.S. officials have told 60 Minutes Correspondent Lesley Stahl that they have evidence Chalabi has been passing highly classified U.S. intelligence to Iran. The evidence shows that Chalabi personally gave Iranian intelligence officers information so sensitive that if revealed it could, quote, "get Americans killed." The evidence is said to be "rock solid."

On Friday, Stahl reported that senior intelligence officials stress the information Ahmad Chalibi is alleged to have passed on to Iran is of such a seriously sensitive nature, the result of full disclosure could be highly damaging to U.S. security. The information involves secrets that were held by only a handful of very senior U.S. officials, says Stahl.

Richard Perle was on TV tonight defending Chalabi and telling us it's the CIA screwing up. But what about everyone else in BushCo who kept telling us how wonderful and noble Mr. Chalabi was, and that he might be the next leader of Iraq?
