the government is being rocked anyway. if powell has conviction he should follow his conviction. he is the resptecful face of this admnistration. actually, no, he was the respectful face. now he is no better and no more believable than the others. and he destroyed his credibility and legacy for...what? i have no doubt he will product a mcnamarra-style mea culpa book after leaving office. fat lot of good it will do anybody then.

"...But these guys are users: they persuade other people to squander their hard-won credibility on behalf of bad policies, then discard those people once they are no longer useful. Think of John DiIulio, or your friend Paul O'Neill. It's happening to Colin Powell right now. (A digression: The U.S. media are soft-pedaling it as usual, but the business of the Osama tape has destroyed Mr. Powell's credibility in much of the world. The tape calls Saddam Hussein an "infidel" whose "jurisdiction . . . has fallen," but says that it's still O.K. to fight the "Crusaders" — and Mr. Powell claims that it ties Saddam to Al Qaeda. Huh? All it shows is that Al Qaeda views a U.S. invasion of Iraq as an excellent recruiting opportunity.)" nytimes.com
