The right-wing New York Sun has this headline above the fold in today's edition:

Chalabi Lauds Capture of Iraqi 'Ace'

That's not a sidebar -- it's the only story on the front page about the capture of Abid Hamid Mahmoud al-Tikriti, Saddam's top aide.

I'll confess that I haven't read the story. I'm pointing it out because it makes me suspect that Ahmed Chalabi was forced to look for another U.S. media mouthpiece after Judith Miller of The New York Times was exposed as his press agent last month. If the Sun -- which nobody reads -- is the best he can do, things really aren't looking good for him.
