Do you not think that the Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have a secret or two to protect? Powell, as JCS, cannot be held responsible for the Clintons. Blame Perot for that debacle, but not Powell.
See, this is where I'm at odds with a number of Freepers -- over Colin Powell. I don't think he's the leaker of this "plame/wilson" scenario. Sure, I've seen him say other things, but his focus is predominantly (even yet) military. He's obviously well informed on intel/counter-intel procedures and "bylaws". It is such a rule of thumb in military circles to not *out* recon, intel, counter operations -- this is why I don't think he's the specific leaker on this. I do think, however, he has a *really* solid understanding of WHO may be the "leak" source.
Colin Powell spent more time fighting the State Department libs WHILE doing work in Iraq/Afghanistan. He was outright livid and as furious as I've ever read him being over leaks coming out of the "State" Dept.
