If you are not following Foreign Affairs closely, as we here do, I suggest you read JohnM's posts. He seems to come from the same Political point that you do, and he does follow it closely. People who do follow it closely tend to believe that Powell was telling the truth.

Whoa, manicheanism again. Rather than think in true/false dichotomies, why not think of arguments that are more or less persuasive.

If you mean by that post that I don't think Powell knowingly manufactured evidence for that presentation, then I agree with you. I would expect that Powell considers his credibility one of his principle assets and would not knowingly undermine it.

But do I think all his arguments were equally strong? No. And I suspect he did not think so either.
