"You will notice that Powell's name is in there too, and he did resign in that time frame, just as they said."

And just the other day, Powell's former top assistant - I forget the name - went on a tirade against Cheney, desribing him and the neo-cons as a "cabal" who were circumventing the State Department bureaucracy, and strongly suggesting that any means necessary to stop them would have been justified. Tinfoil hat or not, I am really beginning to believe that there was an active plot among current and former CIA officials to destabilize the administration.

Powell's former Chief-of-Staff, Wilkerson is his name -- he is someone who bears close watching and scrutiny to figure out whether he is working with VIPS or similar people. He said in his recent speech that he and Powell have had a falling out over his decision to go public with his harsh criticisms of the Bush administration, but I suspect he also may have harsher views (than Powell) against the WH, I don't know what Powell really thinks, though.

Wilkerson's tirade sounded EXACTLY the same themes as Joe Wilson, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, et al about a neo-con 'cabal' in the VP's office. Wilkerson has also been a severe critic of John Bolton. Saying this now makes one suspect that Wilkerson is trying to help create a "perfect storm" of outrage if Libby or anyone else in the WH is indicted. One aspect of the Plame affair was a State Dept. memo summarizing items related to Wilson and Plame that was supposedly in Colin Powell's hands on Air Force One around the beginning of July 2003. Wilkerson must have known all about it, as C-of-S for Powell he probably handed it to Powell. I wonder if Wilkerson, given his extreme animus against Bush-Cheney, played a role in this Plame affair -- it may well have been Wilkerson or someone much like him leaking things (and encouraging others) from State to help roll the MSM ball along. Remember that Joe Wilson says before he decided to go public he talked to someone he knew high up in the State Dept. who ENCOURAGED him to go public, saying it would be the only way to have an impact!! That could well have been Wilkerson or someone like him. Wilson very likely knew Wilkerson because they are both connected with Scowcroft and meetings on Turkish-American affairs, I believe.
