Hard hitting article on Colin Powell's silence regarding his deputy Armitage.

[MPJackal]

I have lost all respect for Colin Powell. What a POS he has become.

[jpl]

I agree. I've lost most of my respect for the man.

[ozzymandus]

I can't say I've lost my respect for colon powell, because I never had any. He and his stooge armitage should be arrested.

Where is the quote that Powell knew who leaked the info? Does someone have a link where Powell knew who the leaker was? Thanks!!

Time for a Colinoscopy.

It may be that we don't know exactly what was known by whom and when it was known. I do not believe for one moment that the White House did not know who it was. State told the White House early on that it was someone in State that leaked Plame's name. When offered by State the White House did not want to know the name of the leaker because the investigation was ongoing. The White House had all the information it had a need to know officially.

The mistake the WH made was to trust in the integrity of Fitzgerald. Powell should not be singled out for reprobation on this issue, Powell was put in a very difficult position.

What Armitage and Powell did in undermining this admin is reprehensible, and their silence in letting Rove and Cheney twist in the wind for years is despicable.

...it seems that Colin Powell simply stabbed the President of the United States in the back because he could, because he would get away with it, because he would not be held to task for his grave misdeeds by a man known to turn the other cheek....

[tflabo]

Colin Powell, who knew all along the involvement of Richard Armitage, and chose to keep quiet

I just want to know if Fitzy had a possible gag order on Powell or Armitage perhaps? To you legal experts out there in Freeperland...is that a possibility here?

In 2000, many Pubbies were hoping Colin P would run for the WH at the top of the GOP ticket.

Many changed their minds, especially after Powell's not-so-illustrious stint as Secretary of State.

[onedoug]

I've got several articles in the FR past that criticize Powell as a "ticket-puncher", from the Army...in his whole life.

[BluH2o]

I'm sure Colin Powell will not be on the Bush 41 or Bush 43
Xmas card list this year, or any year in the future. What he allowed happen is reprehensible in the extreme.

[longtermmemmory]

Makes you wonder if powel was the major leaker at the WH.

[bmwcyle]

Colin Powell=High level quota job.

[lowbridge]

bump

[Vision]

This is what an affirmative action mindset gets you.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I've never liked Colin, and this just confirms it.
