John Loftus - Yesterday he said the Israelis and US have always known where the WMD was buried. The Israelis had spotters on the Syrian border in the runup to Iraq and recently a Syrian scientist defected to Europe and his statements lined up exactly to where the Israeli and American intelligence had them. He believes big things will be coming out after the turn over to the Governing Council in Iraq... (Runup to the election too?)

Tonight (only caught end of it) seemed to intimate State has fingerprints on Chalabi's arrest. They don't like Chalabi and never wanted him there. They have 'clientidis' - he calls it and states they are basically the Arab Department.. Says State thinks there is no way Democracy has a shot there etc..

Claudia Rosett is on now talking about it and UNSCAM now 11:00-11:15...
She just spoke to Chalabi tonight!!! (Is this the greatest radio show on or what!!)

She's backing Chalabi and said he told her that if their motivation was to squash or take the key documents away.... that it will come back to bite them because they are all backed up and copied (digitally?) I think.

Now she's talking about Benon Savan, how he 'supposedly' wasn't involved and didn't 'know anything, etc..'
She says that the Iraqi regime kept diligent - (Nazi SS esque diligency) detailed records/documents of the UNSCAM dealings. The WMD notes were supposedly destroyed but Chalabi and his men happened to take residence in the Sport Building(?)where all the compuer records were kept on the UN Oil for Food - names/dates/sums, etc...
The 200 names were from the Oil Ministry not the real big 'stuff' from the Sports Building.

She said Chalabi told her that -
"The graft is on every level quite a number of serious people not just minor people are involved!"
He wanted to do a full audit on it and get a full trail of strong evidence etc... before releasing anything.... that's why Chalabi and the Governing Council wanted KPMG to come in... and bizarrely Bremer wanted Ernst & Young.

Rosett says its a form of delay... everything is being delayed hoping it will go away or UN will be able to take it over or something....

Batchelor says since the CPA has now turned against Chalabi - he's now a hero there?
(Pentagon double setup? hope so)

She says at the time Chalabi and the Governing Council took the initiative and lined up the KPMG audit nobody was doing anything and taking no initiative to really investigate it - not the UN, Bremer noone...
