Two days ago, news about a long-forgotten name re-surfaced across the world: Iraq to pursue charges against Chalabi. The first response an ordinary reader would be, oh, that bad guy who fed the US government, military with fake intelligence about Sadam's WMD before the war finally getting what he deserves, the democratic government in Baghdad we helped to put together finally going to extend the justice to this bad guy!
Two days later, we learned that there were two other events that happened before this announcement and directly triggered it: 1. The Iraqi defense Ministry had transferred $500 million to Lebanon, and 2, Chalabi, as leader of Iraqi National Congress, had openly challenged the money transfer, thus the angry announcement we heard first.
Does this sound like a justice action or some petty revenge hashing, and what role our media is playing again and again?
