He was very specific, saying he even woke Powell up as it was very, very early in the a.m and he wanted Powell to know who had leaked Plame's name to Novack before Powell headed off to work. As the Wasting Time Post and the New York Slimes already had Karl Rove, and then Dick Cheney, frogged marched out of the White House being cuffed and stuffed, Powell was fully aware of the truth. But for me it got even worse the other night. Marc Thiessen said on TV that he remembers a press conference President Bush held, with the players persent, including Powell, telling reporters he would get to the bottom of it. Thiessen said that never did Powell go to his boss, then POTUS George Bush and fess up to Armitage, allowing Bush to give that presser when Powell knew the truth. Powell later claimed that he was sworn to secrecy by Fitzgerald. So, now we have two people who knew the truth, prior to the Libby prosecution, that let the POTUS twist in the wind for political gain and they managed to destroy the career of a pretty good man, Scotter Libby. Both Fitzgerald, and Powell, should have been brought up on charges. I don't know what kind, but I am sure I could find something. And what kind of man who has such a high and valued office allows the POTUS to take hard political hits for months just to gain some form of pay-back? Someone whose only interest in life is his own personal fame and not the interest of the nation or the office he served. Now Powell is trying to rehabilitate his image and that is going to be damn hard to do.
