The New York Sun reported today that...well, just read the clip.
The vice president was careful to say that the American government does not want to pick the leaders of Iraq, a job he said should be left to the Iraqis. But in response to a question from the Sun about whether senior American diplomats in Baghdad should meet with Mr. Chalabi as they do with other Iraqi politicians, the vice president said, "I know Mr. Chalabi myself. I've met with him. I wouldn't have any problems meeting with him today. If there's any prohibition against meeting with him, I'm unaware of it."
Please allow me to repeat.

Am I the only one seriously bothered by the Vice President of the United States of America meeting with an Iranian informant?
ISN'T THIS ADMINISTRATION'S SUPPOSED STRENGTH NATIONAL SECURITY? AND THEY'RE MEETING WITH AN IRANIAN INFORMANT?
Holy crap, man, I can't believe the crap these people pull sometimes.
