John R. Bolton -- who is seeking confirmation as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations -- often blocked then-Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and, on one occasion, his successor, Condoleezza Rice, from receiving information vital to U.S. strategies on Iran, according to current and former officials who have worked with Bolton.
In some cases, career officials found back channels to Powell or his deputy, Richard L. Armitage, who encouraged assistant secretaries to bring information directly to him. In other cases, the information was delayed for weeks or simply did not get through. The officials, who would discuss the incidents only on the condition of anonymity because some continue to deal with Bolton on other issues, cited a dozen examples of memos or information that Bolton refused to forward during his four years as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.

Not one source mentioned by name in the article. This is like office gossip and should be ignored unless the WaPost writer can name even One Named Source. Complete whitewash.

I'm not getting this....
That was a real Washington Post article,(wasn't it?) So why is this person being zotted? We read much worse stuff than this from the NY Times almost daily.

I was going for a Showmaker-Levy hits Jupiter theme, but google image search just wasn't in the mode. Still, I think the crater accurately displays what is left of yon troll quite well. :)

Armitage and Powell were working against President Bush's initiatives.
Kudos to Bolton.

yeah.......just seems a little odd to zot someone on a Wash. Post article. Kinda gets in the way of a real discussion about the article.

Wow, we usually get to poke the troll with a stick for a while. That was lightning fast. The mods must let them join, then follow them to their misguided post, then WHAM! Just like whack-a-mole. Hey...whack-a-troll... I can do something with that....
