The general consensus around the Internet seems to be that Powell is ready to make his endorsement. If this has been leaked somehow, these authors should indicate their "inside" information rather than try to get out ahead of the story in order to appear astute and prescient.If, instead, they're all just feeding off each other's speculations, they ought to knock it off.A Fox News piece on the same topic yesterday, for example, was some of the worst reporting I've seen in a while.Pamela, this isn't a slam on <em>you</em> in any way - you're just posting about what's being said. I'm just curious whether the people putting out the opinions on this are doing it based on credible information or whether they're all chasing each other's tails.

Colin Powell was fed kool-aid before his speech to the UN. He was resentful of that misleading crap.
