Meanwhile, an investigative report is about to be released in Israel that could tie Ariel Sharon to faked intelligence on Iraq, too. It’s hush-hush what the Israeli report will say, but some Israeli officials have close ties to Chalabi, and Israel provided intelligence to Washington on Iraq. In a story I wrote for The Nation last summer, I noted that some U.S. intelligence experts believe that Sharon’s office may have created the doctored documents that said Iraq sought uranium in West Africa. (That’s the scandal that led to Plamegate.)

According to Jane’s (no left-wing rag, that), which reported the state of the Israeli investigation:
Domestic critics of Israel's intelligence establishment contend that the data it provided to the U.S. to enhance their pre-war assessment of Saddam's WMD programmes—pointing to a threat that now appears not to have existed—has damaged both many Israelis' trust in their intelligence establishment and its credibility in the eyes of Israel's allies and friends.

1. Chalabi is a perfect fit for this administration

he is totally corrupt. I have an even lower opinion of Sharon.
