Powell and Woodward

From the "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" daily roundup:

Secretary of State Colin Powell has re-emerged as the pouty-mouthed spoiler of the Bush administration, not playing very nice in the sandbox of neocons and vulcans that prodded George W. Bush into the war in Iraq. The new book by Bob Woodward, "Plan of Attack," is making headlines, but Powell's critics say he gave far too much to Woodward, in an effort to paint himself as the clear-headed diplomat.

Whatever Powell's motives, there's plenty of juice in Woodward's narrative of the ramp-up to war. And there's plenty of sources other than Colin Powell.
A sampling:
* The Bush administration took $700 million from appropriations the U.S. Congress had earmarked for the war in Afghanistan and used it for Iraqi planning, a move which could be illegal.
* Saudi Prince Bandar learned of the attack plans on January 11, 2003, two days before Powell was told of the decision.
* Bush on his father: "...there's a higher father that I appeal to..."
