Ms. Powell is no intellectual pushover and anyone who has read any of her publications knows she is a capable investigator/analyst. More recently she has been working with some well informed national security types.
The General, working on our behalf, has collected quite a few enemies around the world over the years and has been the subject of more than one smear program.

Way back in the early days; when computers at home were a novelty; I made a little dice rolling program, as my sister-in-law and others liked to play board games with us on the weekends.
When I whipped out my little OSI showed how we’d not have to ever pick the dice up from the floor anymore; she refused to use it.
“Why?”, I asked. “all you gotta do is press any key and the dice stop spinng and you can see the random number generated.”
Her reply was, “If you’re smart enough to program that; you’re smart enough to make it cheat somehow.”
I was crestfallen; for she was right.
