Are Colin Powell and/or George Tenet behind this Leak investigation, in effect distancing themselves from the administrations misleading the American people? Interesting that in this weeks US News and World Report, Kevin Whitelaw outlines the ultimate pushback the CIA was giving the VP's office. Also interesting is how Colin Powell and George Tenet, along with Negroponte were the ones at the forefront in the UN selling the case for a war that Powell and Tenet now have doubts about.
Does anyone know or can guess how much Karen Hughes the State Department is allocating for the Under Secratary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs' office?

I called 2 organizations in the US to get their reactions, no word yet. Any ideas of who else I should call for comment? Much appreciated.

What is your reaction to Karen Hughes travelling to Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia?
Did anyone from the State Department or the Under Secratary's office call or consult with you before this trip? What did they say?
Who do you think the State Department should have sent with Karen Hughes or instead of the Under Secratary?
Also posting at Aroused News - Thanks!
