"Oddly, because of his previous good reputation, he is in some ways MORE quilty than some peers." Agree 100%, karynnj.

Powell put his reputation on the line at the time, a reputation that was steller enough to put him in the White House if he and his wife had wanted. He had what, one source?

For the record, I feel the same way about John McCain.
