Smashing stuff:

We still don't know what to make of the raid on Chalabi's office, an event we find puzzling.

In any event, this caught our eye in the New York Times report: (emphasis added)

Dozens of Iraqi policemen, backed by American soldiers and unidentified men in civilian clothing who Iraqis said were American agents, stormed into Mr. Chalabi's headquarters, carted away computers, overturned furniture and smashed photographs of Mr. Chalabi and his family.

Overturning furniture? Smashing photographs?

What to make of this bully-boy attitude? Is it to "throw a scare" at the INC?

Bizarre.
