Chalabi's Finances Under Scrutiny

Host Michele Norris talks with Christopher Dickey, Middle East regional editor and Paris bureau chief for Newsweek, about Ahmed Chalabi's financial dealings. Chalabi is Vice President Dick Cheney's first choice to lead Iraq. Financial institutions that Chalabi owns have been closed by authorities in Jordan, Lebanon and Switzerland because of questionable practices and unsecured loans.
