Colin Powell Makes Impolitic Statements About NSA Scandal
Colin Powell has delivered a big blow to his Presidential aspirations by seeing "nothing wrong" with the Bush administration's refusal to obtain FISA warrants in the NSA scandal.
"I see absolutely nothing wrong with the president authorizing these kinds of actions," he said.Asked if such eavesdropping should continue, Mr. Powell said, "Yes, of course it should continue."
He doesn't hesitate to try to cover his ass legally:
Mr. Powell said he had not been told about the eavesdropping activity when he served as secretary of state.
