>Colin Powell has since expressed public contrition for his role in that. He didn't use these words -- ever the diplomat -- but it was clear he felt he had been used as a stooge. Knowing Powell to be a proud, capable man, for me that was the last nail in the coffin of this ridiculous administration. To the neocons all around him Powell was "weak" for wanting to exhaust diplomatic means before invading. Imagine that!
