Is Colin Powell melting down? It's hard to come up with another explanation
for his jaw-dropping behavior last week before the House International
Relations Committee. There he sat, recounting for the umpety-umpth time why,
back in February 2003, he believed the pessimistic estimates about Iraqi
weapons of mass destruction. I went and lived at the CIA for about four
days, he began, to make sure that nothing was- Suddenly, he stopped and
glared at a Democratic committee staffer who was smirking and shaking his
head. Are you shaking your head for something, young man back there?
Powell grumbled. Are you part of the proceedings?. Rep. Sherrod Brown, an
Ohio Democrat, objected, Mr. Chairman, I've never heard a witness reprimand
a staff person in the middle of a question.
