Refresh my memory re Saddam Hussein's s trial and Chalabi family

[Vanje]

So Saddam's 2nd legal team has been ambushed by assasins.http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2232483
Also,the once disgraced felon, liar, and spy for Iran, Chalabi seems to be in good with the Whitehouse once again. He'll be meeting with Cheney this week to discuss the future of Iraq.

Can someone walk down memory lane with me?

Wasnt the first legal proceeding against Saddam, halted when the "judge" himself was charged with murder?
That judge, coincidentally (insert sarcasm emoticon here), was Chalabi's nephew.

That was at about the same time as Chalabi's first fall from grace with the Whitehouse. Remember this? Bush staff denied they knew Chalabi, despite footage of a smiling Chalabi sitting right behind Laura at a state of the union speech. Chalabi was found to have shared secrets and some sort of alliance with Iran.
Am I the only citizen who recalls news footage from about this time, of Chalabi having his computers taken away by coalition troops?

And what ever became of Chalabi's nephew the accused murderer?
Was he tried?

Is he being wined and dined at Cheney's house like his Uncle Chalabi is?

1. You are correct.

I've been wondering if there is a connection between the raid on Chalabi's office and the Niger Docs.
