I have a question I haven't seen asked yet.
On that trip to Africa on Air Force One....why did they need to have that memo, and why did the White House Iraq Group go along???
There was no need for either to be along on that trip.

2. As I understand it, the memo was part of a
sort of notebook of documents on the Niger matter and maybe some other related matters that Colin Powell carried with him on the trip. I think I may have read that on Raw Story, but I'm not certain.

6. He wasn't.
He stayed behind because he was going on vacation.

That's why I heard somewhere they wanted to subpeona the phone records from AF1 for that trip...
