I don't have a clue what to make of this one, so I'm going to just post it, email it to Josh Marshall, and hope either he finds it worth commenting on or someone here knows more than I do.
Chalabi's going free.
A judge has dismissed counterfeiting charges against Iraqi National Congress party leader Ahmad Chalabi, a former Pentagon favorite once considered a front-runner to become Iraq's leader, authorities said Friday.
The charges against Chalabi, a wealthy former Iraqi exile who has denied wrongdoing, were dismissed for lack of evidence, said Zuhair Maliky, Iraq's chief investigative judge.
Maliky said the charges, dropped at a court session Thursday, could be refiled if more evidence was uncovered.
"I am sure they are not going to find any evidence against Chalabi, because there was no evidence from the beginning," said Haidar Moussawi, an aide to Chalabi.
