The media, Wilson, Plame, Armitage, Powell and Fitzgerald perpetrated a massive fraud upon the citizens of the United States during wartime and must be held to account for their actions. Perhaps we need another "special prosecutor" to look into this, hum?
He's not hurting for well-paid speaking engagements .. he needs to be FReeped.

THIS IS RICH FROM HIS AGENCY:
"Diplomacy: Persuasion, Trust & Values
One of the 21st century's most fervent purveyors of democratic values, General Colin Powell understands the power of diplomacy and the universal human ideal of democracy to build trust and transform once-unstable regions into areas where societies and cultures prosper. As well, he understands that the power of persuasion, reason and building trust are immeasurably effective in getting governments to cooperate for the overall common good of their people and the rest of the world.
In a compelling presentation filled with humor and anecdotes from years of service at the highest levels of international affairs, Powell, former U.S. secretary of state, describes the delicate process of forging alliances, bringing people and countries together, and promoting universal human ideals of democracy and peace around the world."

MUST WATCH: Powell will be on with CHRISSY MATTHEWS:
_ "9/11: The Day that Changed America" (Mon., Sept. 11 at 10 p.m.; MSNBC) finds Chris Matthews asking a number of prominent Americans _ including former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Sen. Hillary Clinton and actor Samuel L. Jackson _ to recall the moment when they heard the dreadful news.
I'm loving this: his "authorized biography" is among some new books coming out soon. Ought to be a real interesting book tour. How could he not know that this would all come out: unless that's his plan .. his plan for grander things.
New books for fall:
NONFICTION
The Greatest Story Ever Sold, by Frank Rich (September): The New York Times columnist skewers the Bush administration's publicity campaigns, and the complacent media, up to and including Bob Woodward. And what about the Times' own Judith Miller?
Inside Bush's White House — Second Term, by Bob Woodward (October): The most baldly self-explanatory title of the season.
Soldier, by Karen de Young (October): The authorized biography of Colin Powell.
Wonder what Colin and Alma are talking about tonight.
A hearty Amen to that.
