Have We Forgotten About Chalabi?

Since just before Reagan died, we've had virtually no news about Chalabi.

Wouldn't it seem wise - if he really is suspected of doing all these terrible things (and that depends on who is talking, of course) - that we attempt to question him before the turnover of power (right, like that's real) on the 30th?

Or maybe there's just too much we don't want Mr. Chalabi to tell us... at least in a venue where the public can hear. Let's face it: there always was rather an unholy alliance between us (and by us, I really mean extended BushCo) and Chalabi. That whole raid/search of his house still seems like more of a shake-up warning to him than anything else. But was the point to make him shut up, or to get him to flee to Iran where he would be considered more treasonous by the American public so that if he did talk out, we wouldn't listen?

And why, oh why, is this of so little import to anyone now? I mean, it's been two full days since we had another Reagan funeral.
