It's About Damn Time
Posted by Bill That Colin Powell got angry. Powell was recalling for the panel his review of the prewar intelligence. "I went and lived at the CIA for about four days to make sure that nothing was," he began, when he paused and glared at a staffer seated behind the members of Congress. "Are you shaking your head for something, young man, back there?" Powell asked. "Are you part of these proceedings?" Powell's unusual remarks threatened to derail the hearing. Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), a 12-year veteran of the House, objected, "Mr. Chairman, I've never heard a witness reprimand a staff person in the middle of a question." Powell shot back, "I seldom come to a meeting where I am talking to a congressman and I have people aligned behind you giving editorial comment by head shakes." His typical calm dignity is among his greatest assets, which is exactly why such an uncharacteristic outburst carries great weight. But I can't help but yearn for such an eloquent and highly respected figure to more aggressively stand up and defend his administration from the more scurrilous charges being bandied about in the name of politics. The political dialogue about Iraq has become shameful and is undermining an entirely justifiable course of action. Considering the fact that Powell was an integral part of the considered decision to go to war, it's past-due for him to take a stand. Hopefully, this is a good start.
