That would appear to be the end of Ahmad Chalabi. His nephew Salem is also facing charges of involvment with murder. Readers may remember that he has been convicted before in Jordan in connection with a failed bank. The USA don't like him either anymore and suspect him of leaking information to Iran.
I was amused to hear his lawyer on the BBC this morning comparing him to Konrad Adenauer. Adenauer was briefly Mayor of Cologne after the war but was removed by the British for being 'inefficient'. There is a difference of course. Adenauer was imprisoned in 1934 by the Nazis and again in 1944 for suspected involvment in the July 1944 plot against Hitler.
