Powell Tells a Different Story
Colin Powel (of the [in]famous mushroom cloud and yellow-cake uranium theatrics) now tells a different story. Perhaps his conscience got the better better of him, or maybe he just does not want to be remembered for his infamy in the annals of history."On Monday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell told me that he and his department's top experts never believed that Iraq posed an imminent nuclear threat, but that the President followed the misleading advice of Vice President Dick Cheney and the CIA in making the claim. Now he tells us.." writes Robert Scheer in The Nation.

And, if you're in Los Angeles, you can see Scheer speak on Thursday, April 27, at 7:00pm at the Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica. He'll be joined by Nation Books author and former UN Weapons inspector Scott Ritter in a conversation moderated by LA Times columnist Patt Morrison.
