Bwahahahaha! Chalabi Wants U.S. Compensation After Baghdad Raid
May 23, 2004 — BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Lawyers for Iraqi Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi have written to Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator of Iraq, condemning a raid on Chalabi's home last week and demanding financial restitution and an inquiry.
In a three-page letter emailed to Reuters by a Chalabi aide Sunday, the lawyers accuse Iraqi police and U.S. forces of acts of vandalism and marauding during the raid.

"This tawdry action, committed by Iraqi policemen under the command of United States soldiers and several men who were identified as part of the FBI and the CIA, was illegal and unwarranted," the lawyers, Markham & Read of Boston wrote in the letter dated May 20.

"On behalf of Dr Chalabi, we hereby demand that you cause to have promptly returned to him all property taken from his home and his office... We will, once the physical damage is assessed, present a bill for the damages," the letter says.

1. He figured if BushCo could ask for an extra 25 billion for a slush fund -
On a one-page request to Congress, why not? He figures that maybe they'll pay him to pretend he's dead while he's really retired to a very private estate in the South of France.

2. We'll pay it too, but it weon't be compensation, it will be hush money.
He knows the dirty deeds of the Bush Crime Family.

3. Compensation?
Jesus the felonious asshole has gotten over a quarter million a year from the US for how many years now. I'd say that's compensation enough. How about this for compensation....pack his ass up and hand him over the the authorities in Jordan.
