King Abdullah of Jordan has agreed to pardon Iraqi politician and onetime CIA asset Ahmed Chalabi. For years, Chalabi has faced a 22 year prison sentence in Jordan for fraud after his Petra bank collapsed in 1989 with more than $300million in missing deposits. Iraqi President Jalal Talabani asked the king to resolve the differences between Jordan and Chalabi during a visit to Amman this week.
