You've probably already heard the charge against Allawi. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be part of a smear campaign against him, since the man does have an enemy or two. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true, since the man does have a history which fails to inspire much confidence.
It's all so depressing, which is one reason I've been posting less and less about Iraq lately. I'm working now on a long post which tries to sum up a year and a half of writing on Iraq, but beyond that I'm just burnt out. That doesn't mean I'll stop caring (or reading), of course, but I will probably continue to write less about Iraq for the next little while. (I even skipped a Safire column the other day! What's happening to me?)
As for that long post, I promise it'll be a doozy. I may need a few days to whip it into shape, though.
