Conclusion: Powell's "loyalty" includes crippling in a PR way the man and the administration he worked for. Looks like he's shopping around for a new administration to cripple, and thinks Obama will trust him with such a new appointment.

Exactly.
Where is the Law That an Administration Can’t Defend Itself Against a Liar Like Joe Wilson?

Richard Armitage is a buddy of Colin Powell, and they were out to get Bush. They have not been big fans of Bush. They’re not even pursued in this. Armitage was not even pursued in any of this. So there’s another example.
Lawrence Wilkerson, who is one of Colin Powell’s aides, has been out trashing the Bush administration ever since this Wilson thing started.
I happen to think that Valerie Wilson and Joe Wilson are anti-war, anti-Bush, and set out with somebody to set all of this up and they got their dream realized today. I think they were trying to undermine the whole war in Iraq and the war on terror for whatever their own political reasons are. They set up this whole trip, send Wilson over there to say that there was no evidence.
The Senate intelligence committee said that his report actually confirmed that there was an attempt by the Iraqis, and they also confirmed that he had lied in his op-ed in the New York Times. Now here we go again, this “disposition to smear critics of the war.” How do you smear a liar? Somebody explain to me how in the world do you smear a liar: Joe Wilson? How do you smear a liar?
