WASHINGTON - The FBI is probing whether Pentagon officials shared secrets about Iran's weapons of mass destruction with Iraqi exiles, who then passed the intelligence back to Tehran, the Daily News has learned.
Sources said Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi is the suspected conduit who gave Iran's mullahs secrets that were intercepted by U.S. code-breakers - a major intelligence breach.
"We're investigating the WMD and Chalabi issues," confirmed a top government source.
Some of the U.S. defense officials who recently came under FBI scrutiny for possibly passing Iran intel to Chalabi or the Iraqi congress worked in an ad hoc unit run by Douglas Feith, the Pentagon's No. 3 official and policy chief.
So Newt the Ginrich, with such an elabrate history of defending the individual liberties from government imposition on Meet the Press defended his good ole boys with this statement:
Quote:"To have people who are supposed to be in charge of security out smearing people makes one worry about the protection of individual liberty and ... individual innocence in this society,"
