I agree with Apeman. When I read the article all it told me was that he hasn't travelled overseas as much as other SoS. In this time that's a pretty wise decision.

It even gave his reasoning as to why. And how he believes lower level and ambassadors are there to do the job. Makes sense to me, that's what we pay the lower level and ambassadors for.

All this article tells me is how Powell defined his job and did a part of it. Seems logical to me.

He's a man that has spent his time away from home because of the military now he can stay home unless he is truly needed elsewhere and has put his trust in others. He's not micromanaging he's doing his job and allowing others to.

Where's the bias?

I guess it all depends on what you are expecting from the press and trying to read into what is said.

If you are a righty, you'll read attack in there somewhere, and if you are a lefty you could see this being a creampuff story on Powell.
