That was the moment when I lost any residual respect I had for him.
He knew an honest man was being railroaded and he kept silent. He knew the truth and he let a good man be bankrupted and hung out to dry.
Same here. Along with Scooter Libby, he sat by and watched President Bush and VP Cheney take heat for this BS "leak" all the while knowing it wasn't any of them at all, it was Armitage. I don't think there's anything Powell could do to regain my respect (not that he cares of course!).
