Garner reported on his way out
The Independent reports that Jay Garner, the head of the US's Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Affairs, in charge of rebuilding Iraq, will be leaving his post soon. The Independent adds:
Although the change replaces a Pentagon appointee with a State Department person, Mr Bremer is thought to be close to neo-conservatives around the US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

This is significant because it suggests continuing support by US administrators here for the Iraqi National Congress headed by Dr Ahmad Chalabi.
Chalabi still in the lead to take over.
