Chalabi and Neoconservative craziness

I haven't been willing to say this before, as I think that labeling neoconservatives crazy fails to understand the roots and idiocy of their world understanding and is just a cop-out intended to diengage debate-but these people are just plain insane. Do they actually believe that Ahmed Chalabi was legit? They're sticking their necks on the line for a man who everyone else knew from the moment they met him that his greatest influence in life was Paul Newman's character in the Sting. Richard Perle is out there picking fights with the CIA, saying, that they have no "evidence" that Chalabi was funneling info to Iran (Note to Perle: does the CIA require the same evidence for implicating Chalabi as Chalabi requires for sending the US to war over WMD?) Tge logical thing for Perle to do here is sit quietly in the background and let Chalabi go down, it wouldn't be the first time our media has ignored the mistakes of his cabal. But no, he's out there just garnering more attention to the failure of his and Chalabi's backers analysis of everything Iraq. Go Richard, go.
