Should We Mourn Colin Powell?

No. The handsome, dignified Powell helped hide the true face of the Bush administration, while, at the crucial moment, lying effectively to the UN about Iraq. And he knew he was lying. That’s what he’s done for a living for the last four years. Far better that we see the hate-filled mug of Condoleezza Rice. No more myths, please, about secret good guys in the upper reaches of the regime.
