Ahmed Chalabi and the "Noble Lie":

(via the Washington Post)

Meanwhile, the Pentagon's favorite Iraqi exile, Ahmed Chalabi, now on Baghdad's governing council, has laid claim to the Nobel "Heroes in Error" Prize. Chalabi, accused of peddling phony tips about Iraq's weapons, shrugged off charges that he had deliberately misled U.S. intelligence, the London Telegraph reported.

"We are heroes in error," he told the Telegraph in an interview Wednesday in Baghdad.

"As far as we're concerned, we've been entirely successful. Our objective has been achieved. That tyrant Saddam is gone, and the Americans are in Baghdad. What was said before is not important."


Or, in other words: Suckers!
