State is a typical Gov fiefdom, and it's career diplomat personnel are mostly untouchables because they possess the map to where soooooo many bodies are buried.. Powell was perfectly placed to be Sec of State, where he could undermine everything Bush and Co wanted to do without fear.. Barbara is like-minded as the diplomat corps goes..
That is as good an explanation as any.
