46. Ahmed Chalabi takes over Iraq oil ministry again
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=fa6d72aaa5771641

Ahmed Chalabi has been re-appointed Iraq's Oil Minister.

Chalabi, who is also Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq, is a long-time associate of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, both of whom he met on a visit to Washington last month. He also provided much of the intelligence that led to the war in Iraq.

He was favored by the Pentagon to replace Saddam Hussein when he was toppled from power. He fell from grace though after being accused of passing on U.S. classified information to Iran. He is also wanted in Jordan on charges of money laundering, criminal conspiracy and embezzlement.
