Imminent Arrest for Chalabi

From The Agonist:

Authorities will arrest prominent politician Ahmad Chalabi after the current Islamic religious holiday for allegedly defaming the Defense Ministry, the defense minister said Friday.

"We will arrest him and turn him over to the Interpol,'' Shaalan told Al-Jazeera television. "We will arrest him based on facts. He wanted to tarnish the image of the Defense Ministry. ... He wanted to tarnish the reputation of the defense minister because he is frank and clear. One of those who want to commit crimes against the Iraqi people is Ahmad Chalabi.''


I wonder if there will be any arrests for such equally serious crimes committed by politicans here? Can't you just picture arrests being made for unkind remarks made about John Ashcroft's "song" Let the Eagle Soar? Hmmmmm... I better go into hiding soon.
