Abu Aardvark and the Oil-for-Food Scandal

This post by Abu Aardvark highlights an important point:
A lot of neocons saw "conspiracy" written on the wall when Chalabi's ofices (or home, I forget which) were raided this summer.
They thought that the State Department wanted to get his files on the oil-for-food program because they were trying to help the UN cover up its complicity.
In reality, if we were trying to get files on Oil-for-Food, it's probably because we didn't want Chalabi to put them in his purple files (see fourth paragraph under "Government") to use later when he wanted something.

That is all.
