Reply #107: Yeah, you know, that torture thing was (is) illegal, too.

Thanks for pointing it out, Tight_rope. I just caught the significance of it. (He's pinning the torture on THEM--Rumsfeld and Cheney. We knew this, but to have a Powell man say it....)

I've been thinking this Wilkerson speech was a political move to undercut Rice, and promote Powell as Cheney's replacement ("loyal soldier," yes--that's important to corporations--but no "toady" like Rice--a "yes woman," no leader), thence to '08 and a Diebold/ES&S "selection." And that may be true; still, his language and the charges he is making are fairly incendiary. Wonder what he may know about Fitzgerald, the GJ and pending indictments (and about McNulty's AIPAC/Franklin prosecution).
