I have met Colin Powell and he is a good person, very kind, intelligent and charitable. He spoke against the war and warned Rumsfeld repeatedly about the conditions and quantity of prisoners in Iraq. His weakness in my eyes is in being too loyal of a soldier and not taking a strong enough stand on his true beliefs. He has been marginalized out of this administration although he is the most respected. I guarentee he will not be on board for all of Bush Term2. He was the only voice of reason. The future will tell us that Bush should have listened to him and not Rumsfeld/Cheney
