I think the real issue is not if someone is a terrorist, or that someone moved around alot of money illegally.. The original topic here was that Bush felt it more important to tell a buddy (leader of a country or not, he is still a buddy) about the war plans before he knew he could go to war (the President can't send the country to war, he doesn't have that right under the consitution).. I think of all people, Powell should be the outraged. This is the what.. fifth time? He has made Powell look like an idiot.. I'll sit back and wait for Powell's book ( I can see "Following the chain of command: how I was led around the world to promote war - The Colin Powell story)?
