NBC's In Depth feature gave free publicity to one of its own. Investigative correspondent Lisa Myers filed a profile on Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi politician, based on the book The Man Who Rushed America to War whose author is Aram Roston, Myers' own producer. Myers retraced Chalabi's shady dealings with fabricating defectors and leaders of Iran's Revolutionary Guard along with his fall from power in post-Baath Baghdad. "Today Chalabi is back. He is now Iraq's Mr Fixit head of an official government committee for cutting through Iraqi bureaucracy and restoring essential services." Myers offered the photo-ops to prove it: one with Gen David Petraeus; the next with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
