    The Exchange Rate of Foreign Currency in Economic Feasibility Studies

    Below are the central controls related to the exchange rate of the foreign currency to convert the project inputs and outputs from foreign currency to its equivalent in the local currency, and that is by calculating the net discounted present value standard and the internal return on investments in economic analysis that governs investment projects that costs excess one million dinars.

    Estimate the shadow price of foreign currency:

    1. It is necessary to put central controls to amend the official exchange rate * to reflect the shadow price of the foreign currency, and that is considered one of the necessary requirements to implement the net discounted present value standard and the internal return rate on investment in the economic calculation stated in the instructions, paragraph nine.

    The central controls for adjusting market prices distinguished a group of outputs and inputs traded internationally, where the projects production or usage of them is reflected on the abundance of foreign currency in the economy and thus project outputs or inputs used of such are considered purely foreign currency outputs or inputs.

    * What is meant by exchange rate: the number of units of foreign currency, expressed in dollar per one dinar.In particular the following outputs and inputs of foreign currency were distinguished:


    • Export-outputs.
    • Outputs marketed locally that substitute imports.
    • Imported inputs.
    • Inputs produced locally that usually go to exports.
    • Foreign labor.


    According to the pricing rules the value of the output and input (traded) is calculated using export prices (FOB) and import prices (CIF), according to what is listed in the pricing rules.

    In other words the pricing rules calculate what the project produces from foreign currency (quantity of exports multiplied by the export price (FOB) in foreign currency or the quantity of substitute imports multiplied by the import price (CIF) in foreign currency, as well as what the project uses from foreign currency and imported inputs multiplied by the import price (CIF) in foreign currency …. etc.).

    In a later step, project outputs and inputs must be converted from the foreign currency to its equivalent in local currency (dinars) by using a specific exchange rate for the foreign currency.

    2. Justifications for exchange-rate adjustment: there are a number of important and powerful arguments which support the view that the official exchange rate reduces the real value of foreign currency for purposes of calculating the economic national profitability for investment projects and hence for the purposes of investment planning. It is demonstrated in this context to call for assessing the dinar for less than (3.208) dollar (official exchange rate) when assessing project outputs and inputs of traded goods of exports, substitute imports and imports… etc.

    The justifications to call for the use of an exchange rate that is lower than the official exchange rate are:


    • The use of an exchange rate that is lower than the official rate is the appropriate action at the investment planning level to translate the country’s economic strategy aiming at stimulating central investments in the sectors that encourage the development of non-oil exports, as well as sectors that encourage the expansion of domestic production base in order to reduce imports and compensate it with local commodities. This helps to reduce reliance on foreign exchange earnings from crude oil exports and increases the share of non-oil sectors in the local production.
    • The application of the amended exchange rate on project imported inputs will assist in directing investments away from aggregated sectors dependent on imported inputs and the preference of those sectors that rely on locally produced inputs.
    • The use of the amended exchange rate helps to correct the balance in favor of the traded goods sectors compared to non-traded goods.
    • The real exchange rate has declined rapidly since the early seventies, through rapid rise of the level of prices and local costs which led by the steadiness of the official exchange rate to change in prices and actual local rate costs that gave an advantage for imported goods at the expense of locally produced goods, meaning that it led to deterioration of the competitiveness of alternative replacement goods and export commodities.
    • This action shows that the official exchange rate overestimates the value of the dinar, compared to the foreign currency and from the promoting goods substituting imports and export commodities point of view of.


    And in support to this view is the state’s utilization and in a broad approach to the customs and quantitative protection policies especially for consumer goods, as well as export subsidies that exports have through an amended export exchange rate.

    3. Estimate the amended exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar to be used in technical and economical feasibility studies and for (1.134) dollar per dinar. This price should be approved for 3 years until re-appreciation by the competent authorities.



    The Republic of Iraq – Ministry of Planning

    and

    A "flashback recap" of a Live Q and A Call from about a year ago - on THE DAILY DINAR NEWS BLOG...

    In general terms – there were three main focal points of interest I wanted to cover and then allow listeners to ask whatever questions they liked.

    1) the SIGR report…


    2) the Gold Article…


    3) the IIER report…


    I started the conversation out last night by highlighting how crazy this campaign being fielded to contact our lawmakers and bank CEO’s and tell them how unfair it is they are getting to exchange (exchange is the right terminology BTW – NOT “CASH-IN”) at 32.00 per Dinar and we are not – is. It is nuts.


    Firstly, “they” are NOT being allowed to exchange “early” – or at 32.00 per Dinar. It makes you sound “stark raving MAD” to be caught saying such things. You would be better off barking at the moon. It is demeaning to the validity of a true currency play.


    Secondly, this is entirely the wrong way to approach them. I pointed out on the call that Poppy and I fielded a very successful such campaign a couple of years ago. However, we sat down and came up with a much different approach. It was designed to get answers and to approach our lawmakers with respect and as their constituents. Not like a bunch of lunatics. We had extraordinary participation (because it made sense) and we received a good response from lawmakers. It started the conversation in a reasonable manner.


    I asked one caller – “when was the last time you asked a banker for money and told him how unfair it was if he didn’t give it to you”??? Obviously – we chuckled…


    Another caller asked me if (as DC had relayed) – the “zero’s were raised” and the lower denominations were in circulation??


    I said plainly “no”…lower denominations being in circulation would (at the very least) imply there had been a value change. If there were no value change the lower denoms would not only be of little value, they would be such a hinderance – people might even throw them away just to get rid of them. So no – no lower denoms. I told the caller to check the
    CBI.iq website for “real” info on rate change.

    The “zero’s being raised” or “deleted” – as explained by any reasonable researcher, economist or authority – is simply the process removing the large (3 zero notes) from circulation.


    Referring to an Enorrste post from today on
    THE DINAR OBSERVER DAILY(you may want to put this on your favorites and check in several times a day – we to it often )

    “…I have never found a single article from the CBI or the IMF that equates “delete the zeros” to the idea of “move the decimal point.” Instead, the statements overwhelmingly come out to mean “remove the large notes from circulation.”


    Also – this recent internal memo put out by Wells Fargo is likely “push back” from this recent campaign. I pointed out that Pinnacle Bank published an article by an “affiliate” in their internal publication and then “highlighted it” in a similar internal memo a couple of years ago. It is just a defense mechanism. I’m sure Wells is tired of having their name dragged through the “internet rumor mill”. This is highly likely the reason for their vigorous denials about handling it in the future. They get so many useless calls – it isn’t worth the headache. Can you blame them??


    Further, for any bank, lawmaker, adviser or official to state the “Dinar is a scam” is nearly as foolish as some of the internet “Gurus”. It is the official currency of a COUNTRY. I pointed out (below) the post from yesterday’s
    DINAR OBSERVER DAILY
    – highlights page 94 of the quarterly SIGR report to THE US CONGRESS in April of 2012…
    __________________________________________________ _____________

    THIS REPORT WAS SENT TO CONGRESS LAST MAY. IT PLAINLY SHOWS IN THIS REPORT THEY EXPECTED THE DINAR TO REVALUE AT AROUND A DOLLAR IN 2013.

    We are seeing and hearing that the inflation rate is still climbing and they are pushing to get us our money?? This report is from page 84 of the massive SIGR report.





    BGG ~
    This is a screen shot from the “Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction” – Apr 2012, quarterly report to Congress. For members of our Government to say they have no idea what is going on here – means they haven’t read some very basic documents presented them.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    I pointed out (last night) this is a highly speculative investment. We are, in no way, guaranteed anything. However, this SIGR report gives us some valuable insights…

    1) This is information given to the US CONGRESS on a quarterly basis… I find it hard to believe such an information source would intentionally mislead Congress. They tend to frown on such behavior. Which goes directly to the validity of this adventure – against all advice from Wells Fargo or other such naysayers.

    2) It points out there having been a legitimate “plan” – or time frame in motion…having been projected to be done in 2013. We are obviously in “over time” now.

    3) It gives us an idea as to who is in charge…the CoM – or Council of Ministers. Who do they answer to?? Maliki. Period. When is he likely to push this forward?? Historically – he has been a “weak Dinar” policy advocate. However, rumor from his own inner circle admits he can’t win a third term in office without some currency reform.

    I fully expect him to use every tool in his “wheel house” to win – his recent moves in Anbar and the disputed territories prove as much. Currency reform has to be a “biggie”. Though this WAS their thinking a couple of months ago – there is no promise it is still part of their political calculus. We shall see.

    4) Though no guarantee of the actual future plan they wind up engaging – this report points out an increase in value that would have taken the Dinar from “one-tenth of a cent” to a value “of slightly less than $1″..

    Coins put on the market !!



    Nora Albjara member of the committee of economy and investment in the House of Representatives revealed that the central bank completed its preparations for the issuance of metal coins of seven small groups, in conjunction with the implementation of the project to delete the three zeroes from the paper currency is currently in circulation.

    She said in her statement Albjara "The project will take between four and five years, and which will be the launch of the categories of small coins gradually."

    He predicted the financial expert Hilal Taan inflation rate declines, with the issuance of metal coins of small denominations in the daily financial transactions, remarkable that 3% of the value of inflation in Iraq due to the presence of large cash block.

    and

    Another "FLASHBACK"...

    Economists Divided Over Deletion Of Zeros

    By Amina al-Dahabi for Al-Monitor.

    The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has been attempting to delete three zeros from the Iraqi currency since 2003. This project has raised many concerns among the Iraqi public and within the business community, and Iraqi economists are divided…

    …Haider al-Abadi, the head of the Iraqi parliamentary Finance Committee, told Al-Monitor that while deleting zeros from the current currency is possible, this has been postponed until after parliamentary elections. He noted that studies are being carried out to ensure that, following the currency change, counterfeiting is limited and that Iraqis don’t go back to trading in the old currency.

    The step to delete zeros from the currency has been postponed several times, leading the parliamentary Economic Committee to demand that the CBI accelerate this project, as Al-Sharqiya reported. In a news conference held July 6, the Economic Committee confirmed that the deletion of zeros will lead to an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar and will have positive repercussions, including a reduction in unemployment and poverty rates in the country.

    Iraq to count its cost of war

    Iraq's war with ISIS militants has taken a huge toll on the country’s economy, disrupting trade ties and huge losses of economic output for a number of sectors, according to a new report.

    A World Bank study notes that Iraq's average per capita income could have been nearly a third larger had the country managed to avoid conflict and liberalize its economy. Instead the conflict has dragged its per capita welfare down by 16%.

    The conflict has also hurt manufacturers' economic output (down 20%), chemicals and metallurgy (down 13%), and transport (-9%), according to World Bank financial modeling. The finance, insurance, and real estate sector also fell 6%.

    "In this assessment, we assume that ISIS has not captured the main oil extractive facilities in Southern Iraq. If this were to happen, Iraq's welfare, output, and export losses would be much larger in magnitude than those portrayed here," the World Bank said in a report measuring the impact of the war on Iraq and other Levant countries.

    The International Monetary Fund expects Iraq's GDP to contract 0.5% this year primarily due to the economic effects of the ISIS insurgency.

    In a statement, IMF said, earlier the month of December, "We estimate non-oil growth to have deteriorated since the start of the conflict due to the destruction of infrastructure, impeded access to fuel and electricity, low business confidence, and disruption in trade."

    Success in Recent Times

    After being taken completely by surprise by ISIS's success in the first half of the year, the Iraqi government has made a spirited comeback under new Prime Minister Haidar Al Abadi.

    "Iraqis have put their hope in the country's newly elected prime minister, Haider al-Abadi”, says Renad Mansour, analyst at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He added, “Having come to power as a result of Iraq's current crisis, Abadi's job is now to lead his country in the struggle against the so-called Islamic State, a Sunni extremist organization that now controls large swaths of the country."

    Recent successes by the Iraqi army against ISIS militants suggest that there is strong will by Baghdad to fight the menace. Strong co-ordination with Shia groups, along with Kurdish peshmerga forces and Sunni tribes also highlight that the federal government still has the influence to bring together the country in the face of a common threat.

    The Iraqi army's recent successes in Jurf Al Sakhr, Beiji, Jalawla and Kurdish forces victories near Mosul should help stabilize the political situation. Of course, ISIS is hardly a spent force and it is unclear whether the allied forces, with the help of regional and western powers, can hold on to their gains against the militant group.

    While the military strategy will be foremost on the mind of the prime minister, he also needs to move quickly on structural reforms. In November, the prime minister introduced plans to reform security sector, and reportedly fired 26 unnamed military commanders.

    "To rule Iraq effectively, Abadi must not only take on the Islamic State's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," Carnegie's Mr. Mansour said. "He must also move out of the shadow of his own predecessor. It will be a difficult task, but there's a historical precedent: Abadi may have been elected as a weak leader, but so was Maliki back in 2006."

    In a sign of progress, the federal government has been able to secure an interim oil revenue sharing deal with the Kurdish Regional Government that should bode well for a longer term deal with the autonomous region. Baghdad and Erbil are reportedly in talks to secure a final deal within weeks. The pact calls for the KRG to provide 250,000 bpd of crude to Baghdad to sell and allows for another 300,000 bpd from Kirkuk to flow through the KRG's own pipeline system. In return, the central government would release the KRG's 17% share of national revenue.

    Baghdad had been shipping nearly 300,000 bpd from its northern fields until the federally‐controlled pipeline to Turkey was shut in early March due to repeated attacks by Islamist combatants.

    The December deal also provides for a separate USD1 billion payment to Kurdish Peshmerga forces, who are fighting alongside Iraqi forces - supported by an international coalition - to battle the militants. KRG pipeline exports now average 250,000 barrels per day this year, rising to 300,000 bpd in November.

    "New production is due on stream next year. Taq Taq should expand from 110,000 b/d to 170,000 b/d in the first quarter, and Tawke will almost double to 200,000 b/d. A new cen¬tral processing facility at Khurmala Dome will boost capacity to over 240,000 b/d. All this new production will be available for export," according to a Petroleum Economist report.

    Iraq's own production remains stable at 3.4 million barrels per day, although refinery sector has been hit as the 320,000-bpd Baiji plant -- the country's largest refinery -- stays offline.

    Upcoming 2015 Budget

    Amid the turmoil, the Iraq government has proposed a budget of USD130-billion for 2015 which forecasts a USD41-billion deficit, as the war with ISIS divert much-needed funds for infrastructure, housing and construction for the war-ravaged country.

    "The government expressed its commitment to present a draft 2015 budget to parliament soon," the IMF said. "Lack of parliamentary approval of the draft 2014 budget has triggered a fiscal rule that has partly limited spending this year. However, off-budget spending, particularly on security, has boosted the deficit, which will likely reach about 5% of GDP."

    Mr. Abadi will need to move on multiple economic and political fronts to bring some semblance of order in Iraq. And while Baghdad has notched up a series of small victories, it remains a long way away from winning the war on the political and economic fronts.

    A judicial expert for "obelisk" declined to be named, said: "There is a matter of concern of the possibility of infiltration of rampant corruption in many of the state institutions to judicial work."

    What raises concerns, the announcement of the judiciary in Iraq, Monday, that the Rusafa Criminal Court decided to acquit former central bank governor Sinan al-Shabibi of corruption charges related to the central bank, while the main reason for the "lack of evidence".

    Meanwhile, a economist for "obelisk" the source, who followed his "obelisk" that "there are more than a senior official at the bank have been sentenced to prison because of the implementation of the orders issued by Shabibi with respect to the auction instructions of the coin, and multiplicity for a short period, causing a waste of public money, Also, more than twenty case for money laundering related to private banks, and that the acquittal Shabibi means exonerate the perpetrators of these crimes as well. "

    Interestingly, in the case of Al-Shabibi, Judge Gomaa Abdel-David, who handed down the sentence to seven years in prison Shabibi dated 09/03/2014 is the same as that issued his innocence of the charges against him, putting questions about the impact of political conditions and interventions leaders of blocs and their leaders in the Iraqi judiciary.

    Quoted among judicial and political for "obelisk" fear of vigorous attempts to give rise to suspicion, in closing the files of corruption, and the acquittal of those involved, where political parties seeking to appeal the Iraqi judiciary and accusing him of being "politicized" and "unfair", losing the community's trust in him, and prevents the most important institution in the elimination of Iraq into a puppet of those who seek to amnesty for terrorists and corrupt, under the pretext that calls held against them "malicious" and with political purposes.

    Central Bank of Iraq is the central bank of the Republic of Iraq, based in the Iraqi capital Baghdad. Founded in the current approach based on the Iraqi Central Bank Act of 2004 with a authorized capital of 100 billion dinars.

    A spokesman for the judiciary Judge Abdul Sattar Bayrakdar, "The body was competent integrity issues second in Criminal Rusafa Court issued a decision to acquit the central bank's former governor Sinan al-Shabibi of corruption charges against him issues related to the Central Bank during the period of his tenure as governor," attributing the decision of acquittal to "insufficient evidence in the charges against the Hbibi."

    Like the former central bank governor, appeared in court after returning from outside the country, following the promises that they would receive a fair trial, a judge cleared him on bail after that.

    At a time in which he emphasized the Supreme Judicial Council, said the sentencing of Sinan Mohammed Rida Jawad Al-Shabibi, and the judge jailed seven years based on the evidence and the facts and the evidence is clear, political parties seeking to appeal the ruling and considering a political decision, and KDE, fabricated from the former Iraqi government to end the claim.

    According to the book of the Supreme Judicial Council, in the possession of "obelisk" The problem Rusafa Criminal Court on 03/09/2014, headed by Judge David Abdullah Juma, sentenced the convicted Sinan Mohammed Rida Jawad Al-Shabibi, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment on the basis of the provisions of Article 340 of the Penal Code.

    Under it, ordered the arrest and investigation of the convicted issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 340 of the Penal Code, and must upon arrest or surrender attendance before this court, to conduct a public trial, and retain the right to claim compensation affected.

    Refers Book Court, obtained by "obelisk" which carries the number 1638 in the A / C 2/2014, the charges brought against the accused in accordance with the provisions of Article 340 of the Penal Code, and recorded an innocent about being a fugitive and then listened to the reading Deputy Attorney General, and the agent of the accused and issued its decision. According to the book "to the scrutiny and deliberation, and is fixed to the investigation proceedings, the court found that the facts of this case represented that the fugitive from 1/12012 until 08.30.2012, and in the central bank when he was governor of the bank above causing damage intentional with state funds and the interests of the party that works to their advantage, and by irregularities taking place in the auction sale of foreign currency for the period above and reflecting on the meeting with the case and evidence collected, the court found the evidence sufficient to convict the accused in accordance with the material charge being represented statements legal representative and the statements of witnesses and the defendants' statements divisive cases and the record of the administrative investigation, and report the BSA and the presumption of the accused escape a mechanism court found sufficient to convict the accused.

    It was the source of my rights, confirmed November 26, 2014, that both the former central bank governor, and former Minister of Communications, for example, before the Court, as soon as they returned to Baghdad, after promises that they would receive a fair courts, noting that the judge released them on bail.

    The source said on condition of anonymity, that Shabibi Governor of the Central Bank, and Mohammed Allawi, the former minister of communications, were released on bail.

    A political source said the "obelisk" that some political parties to discredit the Iraqi judiciary and beyond the Constitution and the laws in force when the defendant cases where Shabibi describes as "malicious", adding that "the political and financial interests behind the quest to exonerate Shabibi."

    The source familiar with, it was revealed the acquittal of former Central Bank Governor Sinan al-Shabibi, and former Minister of Communications Mohammed Allawi of the charges against them.

    The source said he was "acquitted Shabibi and Mohammed Allawi of the charges against them." The source, who asked not to be named, said: "Al-Shabibi, Allawi returned to Baghdad after that decision."

    The Iraqi judiciary issued in September 2014 and sentenced to seven years imprisonment against former Central Bank Governor Sinan al-Shabibi based on the charges against him during his administration of the Central Bank.

    In October 2012, a regulatory source of early detection for "obelisk" for the issuance of an arrest warrant against the Central Bank Governor Sinan al-Shabibi, while sources revealed his escape outside Iraq.

    The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity for "obelisk" that "an arrest warrant issued against the Iraqi Central Bank Governor Sinan al-Shabibi for his alleged involvement process monopoly of the dollar and money laundering."

    The former Iraqi government denied it relates to the issuance of an arrest warrant against al-Shabibi and the number of employees on charges of financial and administrative corruption.

    The Iraqi Council of Ministers decided to dismiss Shabibi after an investigation by a parliamentary committee in accusations of corruption within the bank.

    Moderated Shabibi, the Iraqi Central Bank, since 2003, the text of the decision of the Federal Court of linking independent bodies of the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers and not Parliament.

    The "obelisk" had contacted her time Bcbibi when he was in Tokyo, and refused to comment on the report at the time, saying only "deny the issuance of an arrest warrant against me I do not want to comment further on the subject," returned "obelisk" to relate Shabibi's office in the central bank, which expressed surprise at the news and his personal secretary said he was "currently at the annual meetings in Tokyo and it is hoped that up today and can make direct contact with him."

    So said a political source for "obelisk" to those who "Atpacon" on Shabibi trying to overcome the Iraqi judiciary, and are trying to challenge the decisions, even those that terrorism-related terms are considered arrest those terrorists as "political" decisions and "sectarian," as they called them .

    The source added that "they know very well that Shibib convicted, and forget at the same time he was dismissed from his post at the Commission on Public Integrity, fairness and parliamentary approval of the Presidency of the Council of Representatives of corruption files in the work of the Central Bank of files, in addition to the chief of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee Bahaa al-Araji time , the existence of an arrest warrant against the 30-Shabibi and help. " The Shabibi took advantage of the absence of a memorandum of travel ban against him, he traveled to Japan and then to Europe, where he remained a fugitive from justice, even the recent return to Baghdad.

    OOTW - HERE ARE SOME FACTORS TO CONSIDER, PERTAINING TO THIS ARTICLE:

    1) THE SOURCE REFUSED TO BE QUOTED - THIS IS A MALIKI SUPPORTER AND HERE'S A COUPLE QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE, EVIDENCING THIS, ."Moderated Shabibi, the Iraqi Central Bank, since 2003, the text of the decision of the Federal Court of linking independent bodies of the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers and not Parliament." - THIS SECTION IS STATING THAT SHABS WAS UPSET BECAUSE MALIKI WENT AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION (PERTAINING TO THE AUTONOMY OF INDEPENDENT BODIES, SUCH AS THE CBI - WHICH WE ALSO KNOW THE PLACEMENT OF THE HEAD OF THE CBI HAS TO BE "OVERSEEN" BY THE GOI - NOT JUST THE COM, AS WELL AS APPOINTEES WHICH SIT ON THE BOARD OF THE CBI) -----

    AND MALIKI AND MAHMOUD WORKED TOGETHER TO REASSIGN CONTROLS OVER THE CBI TO THE COM (AND THEREBY REMOVED ANY ABILITY FOR POTENTIAL PARLIAMENT INTERVENTION - THIS IS WHY (IN PART) ABADI HAD TO ADDRESS THE FED COURT ACT ASAP, ONCE HE GOT INTO OFFICE.

    THIS PERSON BEING QUOTED IS STATING THAT "IT'S WELL WITHIN OUR RIGHTS TO RENEW THE CHARGES (AGAIN, IN PART) BECAUSE THE COM IS PLACED (AGAIN THIS IS AS RESULT OF MAHMOUD AND MALIKI JOINING FORCES, AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION) BECAUSE TO OVERSEE WHAT HAPPENS PERTAINING TO ANY CBI ACTIVITIES" (WHICH IS UTTER BS -AND AN ATTEMPT TO COVER THE CORRUPT'S BUTTS).

    AND..."

    So said a political source for "obelisk" to those who "Atpacon" on Shabibi trying to overcome the Iraqi judiciary, and are trying to challenge the decisions, even those that terrorism-related terms are considered arrest those terrorists as "political" decisions and "sectarian," as they called them" .

    THIS PERSON IS TRYING TO CALL SHABIBI OUT ON TERRORISM CHARGES BECAUSE, AS THE ARTICLE ALEDGES, SHABS IS GOING AGAINST THE JUDICIARY (IN EFFECT - THE JUDICIARY HEADED BY MALIKI POCKET JUDGE, MAHMOUD).

    2) ALSO THIS ARTICLE CONFIRMS ALLAWI'S RETURN BUT DOES NOT CONFIRM SHABS "RETURN".

    3) THE PRIMARY REASONING FOR RENEWING THE COMPLAINT/CHARGES, BY THIS UNNAMED SOURCE, IS THAT THOSE WHO WORKED WITH SHABS, ARE, BY PROXY OF THE CASE BEING DISMISSED - ARE ALSO EXCUSED OF THE "CRIMES" - THIS, TO MY MIND IS ANOTHER WAY FOR THIS PRO MALIKI SUPPORTER TO TRY TO RE INTRODUCE THE CHARGES INTO COURT -

    CONSIDER ALSO; WHAT JUDGE HAS A LIMITED EGO? NONE, AND ALL OF THESE JUDGE GUYS WANT TO BACK EACH OTHER - IT'S A JUDGE CLIQUE..LOL.

    4) THE PERSON "UNNAMED SOURCE", BEING QUOTED, HAS TO DO THIS IN ORDER TO TRY TO REMOVE YET ANOTHER FOUNDATION OF CORRUPTION FROM BENEATH MALIKI (AND VERY LIKELY, THEMSELVES AS WELL) - TOO MUCH HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO THE NEWS PUBLICATIONS ABOUT MALIKI ATTEMPTING TO FORCE SHABS TO GIVE HIM CBI MONIES..WHICH WE KNOW SHABS WOULDN'T DO; AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE PRIMARY REASON AS TO WHY SHABS WAS CHARGED...

    SHABS KNEW THIS WAS COMING - OR WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE TAKEN DOCUMENTATION/EVIDENCE OF THE CORRUPTION MALIKI WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH - REMEMBER WE SAW ARTICLES OF INTERVIEW WITH SHABS WHERE HE SHOWED THE PRESS COPIES OF THE EVIDENCE AGAINST MALIKI? THESE BUTTHEADS HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER - OR THEY'LL ALL GO DOWN, LIKE RATS ON A SINKING SHIP.

    IF THIS MAKES ITS WAY BACK TO THE COURTS (VIA APPEAL) I'LL BE SURPRISED, BUT ALSO - THIS, TO MY MIND, BASED ON THE DECISION, WILL BE A REAL TEST OF MAHMOUD'S SUPPORT OF MALIKI - OR IF MAHMOUD WILL PLAY NICE, BASED ON THE "COME TO JESUS" MEETING ALLAWI AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD WITH MAHMOUD IN RECENT PAST.
