She is one of the nicest and smartest persons I know. He is from a very large Italian-Greek family. I mostly kept my thoughts about him to myself when around her; although, I often sent her various items I found on the internet about him and the war. However, when she told me he was writing a book, I told her it was too little too late. It was too little too late when Powell gave up the ghost. How many years ago was that? Keith Olbermann did a segment on it and entitled the segment "Truth Little, Truth Late." Dick Durbin was part of the segment. I guess Durbin is saying he knew there was no case, which is why he voted no on the AUMF, but couldn't tell because he was sworn to secrecy. Fat lot of good that does 3,000+ dead American military. Not to mention the billions and billions and billions of dollars spent. I'm not hearing anything about Plamegate, which I think is topic he should have covered.

As if that's somehow better. Considering that there were no WMDs, and it was his job to reflect upwards the myriad caveats and imperfections in the intelligence, his bragging about how easy it would be to sell the already-decided-upon war with more exciting lies seems even more vile and traitorous.

Agree with what others have said that his particular confessional is too little too late, but at least this group, with the avalanche of confessionals and investigations is starting to sober up.
