Rice somehow ended up being a neocon (probably when she worked for Chevron), yes. There have been times when she's not totally towed the line, though. She took a big step away from being a neocon when, in 2006, she spoke out against Israel's asymmetrical response to Hezbollah. But, for the most part, she's been an old white man.
If you don't think Powell brought different ideas to the table, you may not have been paying attention. He was a nay-sayer up until he was finally forced to go before the UN. He's a good example of diversity being beneficial.
Gonzales was a yes-man.
