Ex-Powell Aide Blasts Bush White House on Iraq

Lawrence Wilkerson, who served four years as Colin Powell's chief of staff at the State Department is still on a tear against Vice President Cheney.

In an interview with the AP, Mr Wilkerson says he can't believe that the Vice President doesn't believe the Iraq War has become a "spawning ground" for new terrorists.

"Otherwise I have to declare him a moron, an idiot or a nefarious bastard." -- Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, quoted by the Associated Press

Mr Wilkerson -- a former Marine Colonel -- argues that a "cabal" of White House and Pentagon aides laid out a failed policy for dealing with terror after 9/11. He claims they ignored the Geneva Conventions and claimed the President was "all-powerful." (WashPost)
