Did Powell Call War Hawks "F-----g Crazies"? Not That We Disagree...

From Lloyd Grove in the Daily News (with thanks to Wonkette for the link):

Did Secretary of State Colin Powell tell his British counterpart two years ago that the U.S. government's three top hawks were "f--g crazies"?

Respected Brit journalist James Naughtie reports that in private talks with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw before the war in Iraq, a deeply frustrated Powell used just those words to describe Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Powell's chief rivals in the Bush administration.
If only Colin retained any shred of credibility.
