Are the cable news networks running the Chalabi as Iranian spy story?

I don't have cable, and I'm curious. I was lurking over at FR and I read something about Faux's Greta having something about this....

What about CNN?

Or is this story just starting?

Nightline, are they covering it tonight?

2. It appears to be the friday dump to counter the Iraq prison pix.

I can't watch Faux, but it's been on CNN and MSNBC. They all obviously received some talking points from somewhere.

3. Faux had a "Is Chalabi a traitor?" segment.

Mansoor Ijaz flipped his wig. Big bad news.

Heh heh.

4. Who is Mansoor Ijaz?

And did he criticize the Bushies, or just rail against Chalabi?

7. Not that I've seen. The Iranian-Chalabi-Connection is rotting on the vine

I'm prone to think that this is an ideal media story. I have yet to see it picked up by the major cable outlets.
