Powell was one of the few Whitehouse figures that I had/have respect for out of the last eight years. He was one of the ones that made me think (until I heard Blix interviewed) Saddam might have weapons of mass destruction. he must have been so fucking annoyed when he realised he'd been given shitty intelligence.
Of all of them, he was one of the few I genuinely believe and believed had no knowledge of the dishonesty of those reports.
