Does anyone even trust what Powell has to say these days? I'm not familiar with the trend of sending in a BS artist like Powell to defend someone on trial, but I admit that I'm not up on the latest odd trends. From his role in the investigation of the Mai Lai massacre right up to his flashy presentation to the UN, Powell never struck me as one who yearned for the truth but maybe the constitutes the truth has changed. Then again, maybe not.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Friday praised Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens' sense of honor at his trial on corruption charges, calling his reputation for honesty and integrity "sterling" in the quarter-century they've known each other. "As we say in the infantry, this is a guy you take on a long patrol," said the retired four-star Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
