Well now he's dead he'll find it harder to fabricate evidence and lie to the United Nations.

Powell was also part of downplaying the My Lai massacre. He wasn't present until after the event but when asked to investigate after a letter was sent to Abrams he refuted the claims saying that US relations with the Vietnamese population were excellent. He was a cog in the machine who put the machine first his entire career.Quote:
