The Files that Would Have .... something

Chalabi's files on Oil for Food? The ones that were going to prove the guilt of a lot of Saddam-lovers, if Chalabi ever chose to hand them over or share them? The ones that have already been the basis of a number of accusations of corruption in the international media?

Apparently, they're gone.

Somehow, with the highly-publicized raid on Chalabi's offices, the files were destroyed--not only a hard drive, but a back up.

As Josh Marshall says, this is "the dog ate my homework." Kevin Drum simply remarks that the whole sequence of events, beginning with Chalabi having exclusive control over these important documents, is "peculiar indeed."
