Wow. I knew Powell was more of a moderate than the Bushies, but I didn't see that coming. Good for him.

I wonder if it is possible that he just might be getting ready to jump into the 2008 presidential election as a Republican - but trying to play himself as 'reasonable' - not nutso - playing on the current anti-Bush sentiments of most Americans and LOTS of Republicans????

That's an interesting thought. With his high profile too he might even carry the primaries, depending on how much he wants to placate the religious right.
