Definately a huge fuckup on his part.
Notice that he resigns just after it leaks that Chalabi (sp?) is revealed as an operative for Iran. "Operative" isn't the correct word, but he was giving them secrets, etc, and giving the CIA false information. He told Iran that we had just broken their latest code, and more. And, of course, he lied about the WMDs in Iraq.
Evidently, the CIA didn't do their homework on this guy and blindly accepted/trusted him at face value.
Watching Bush backpedal was pretty hilarious (and sickening at the same time).
Bush basically said he talked to Chalabi a couple of times, briefly, mostly in "rope lines", or when doing the handshake thing. Fuck - Chalabi sat right behind Bush's wife at the State of the Union address. You don't get that seat unless you're close to the pres...
Sorry for the ramble.. slept late and need more coffee....
