Why would anyone with a functioning brain cell trust the liberal-infested State Department bureaucracy with sensitive info?

Coilin Powell has proved time and again to be one of the most mediocre, overrated officials to have ever reached national prominence.

A total creation of the Bushs, he abandoned the folks who advanced him to join the opposing camp.

By hanging Scooter Libby out to dry, he showed his true colors.

The Dems likely leaked the document in an effort to rehabilitate the dude. This may signal that Hillary plans to resurrect Powell for her campaign.

Sounds like the "need to know" was strictly enforced.
I blame George Bush, and Dick Cheney, neither of which trusted the Apparat at State as far as they could spit.
Just another secret that Richard Armitage couldn't leak.

I'm missing the significance here...

"We forgot that the Associated Press is not actually a Democratic Party fundraising operation".

Replace "actually" with "openly" and you'll be closer to the truth.

The New York Times “accidentally” emailed this to me (NYT story last year):

“In his [May 2013] letter to Congressional leaders, Mr. Holder confirmed that the administration had deliberately killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric who died in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen. Mr. Holder also wrote that United States forces had killed three other Americans who ‘were not specifically targeted.’”

Four Americans have been killed in White House-approved drone assassinations in the last six years, and none of the strikes was in the battlefields of Iraq or Afghanistan. Has that been a more effective foreign policy? Nobel Prize worthy?

Actually, there's an AUMF that covers Yemen.

I still don't get the obsession over the fate of traitors who left the US to fight alongside our enemies. We didn't worry this much about US citizens serving with the Germans in WWII.

It’s clown-cars all the way down.

Of course Colin Powell did not know about this! Just like he didn't know his deputy Richard Armitrage (sp?) outted Valerie Plame as CIA to Bob Novak for which Scooter Libby got convicted. He read it first in the WaPo just like Obama.

Nothing is done by accident by these people and if you believe it I have a bridge to sell you!

I hear tunnels are in more demand.

Queer... The White House was just trying to get congress to retroactively revoke authorization for war. Very queer.
