We were in a defacto state of war and Cheney hand fed SEVERAL of the senior congresscritters LOADS of bad intel, I don't think he would have thought twice about lying to Powell.
Remember that Powell wasn't in the Pentagon during this whole time - he was shuttling back and forth between Europe and asia trying to form a 'coalition of the naieve'.....
How could a sitting secretary of state walk out over a 'bad feeling' about the intel???
He would have been called a coward. As it turns out maybe staying made him one, but I don;t know if I'd have had the guts to act differently.
