We interviewed Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, on The Young Turks and he had some very interesting things to say. Including:

"Cheney was co-president. I'd go further than that and say that for national security issues and other critical issues Cheney was the President."

"I found the incredible arrogance and lack of humility of the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, to be stunning almost right off the bat."

Referring to the decision to abuse detainees:

"I don't think there's any question it goes to Cheney. I'm increasingly of a mind that a lot of it goes to Cheney and stops there. Not just because of the president's disinclination to do detail, but I also think that Cheney kept some things from the president.

5. Breaking News: No Shit Sherlock

It's getting fun watching the cheney/Powell feud break into the open. While Colin still keeps his silence, Wilkerson is doing the heavy lifting and trying absolve his old boss from taking the blame.

Sadly, the corporate media won't bother to investigate the abuses of cheney...and how he used boooshie as his sockpuppet for his first term.

But will Colin take the "high road"? Will it be the Powell of the Powell Doctrine or of the Pottery Barn???
