CNN To Air A Program About How Powell Says He Made A
mistake about his information regarding The War. I posted at the other thread too. I just caught the tail end of the intro, so don't know if POWELL is going to be on, or if it's his de facto top aide!

I think it might be something interesting to watch!!!

Oh the time is 11:00 PM!

5. I've Been Saying This About a Powell Since My Lai!!
He really is a RAT!! Don't have all the links handy right now, but he has a LOT of baggage people don't know about!

I've said repeatedly that he's the ONE man who could have come clean a long time ago. And because far too many people don't know about his past.... THEY would have believed him!

glad they are re-airing it since it is pertinent to the fraudulent selling of the war to the American people.

edit to add - is it this - CNN Presents documentary "Dead Wrong -- Inside an Intelligence Meltdown.


Former aide: Powell WMD speech 'lowest point in my life'
Tuesday, August 23, 2005; Posted: 10:44 a.m. EDT (14:44 GMT)

CNN) -- A former top aide to Colin Powell says his involvement in the former secretary of state's presentation to the United Nations on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was "the lowest point" in his life.

"I wish I had not been involved in it," says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a longtime Powell adviser who served as his chief of staff from 2002 through 2005. "I look back on it, and I still say it was the lowest point in my life."

Wilkerson is one of several insiders interviewed for CNN Presents documentary "Dead Wrong -- Inside an Intelligence Meltdown." The program pieced together the events leading up to the mistaken WMD intelligence that was presented to the public. A presidential commission that investigated the pre-war WMD intelligence found much of it to be "dead wrong."

10. I just saw a commercial for it. It is "Dead Wrong". I'm glad they
have dusted it off and brought it back out.

That is what really needs to be investigated.

8. How do you make a "mistake" about satellite photo's? They're either
what they are or they are something else entirely.....his entire speech to the U.N. was nothing but lies. That's not a mistake. Forgetting to feed the dog is a mistake ---- he participated in a lie.
