Whoa doggies, the current administration is falling apart at the seams (big surprise!). Powell's remarks remind me of comments I've read on a military discussion board, where lower ranking officers and NCO's complain of being made the fall guys for their superiors. At least Powell is admitting that he was wrong. If he didn't want to bash the man who was director of the CIA at the time, he should have just left it at that, though. What GS 11 or even 13 was going to put his neck out against the party line? I bet some did and were fired for their attempts.
I took classes in aerial photography and satellite imagery back in the stone ages when I was in college, and it was amazing what you could discern back then. My prof was also the head of his department at the US Air Force Academy and sharp as a tack. Of course those mid-level employees at the CIA had their doubts, if not saw the truth up front. It wasn't convenient news, so they were ignored.
