Where's Colin Powell?
In all the excitement over Obama's clinching of the democratic nomination, one voice has been noticeably absent (at least as far as I can tell): Colin Powell. A google news search for him turns up only this event as his latest public appearance:

I'm very curious about Powell's reaction to this historic event. Sec. Rice has already weighed in this morning. So why not Powell? Is he in the running for McCain's VP? I'd appreciate links/information about Powell's reaction, if any exist.

Powell is a very sad case, IMO. Most of the country watched this man toss his integrity into the trash, and for what? He squandered a reputation earned over a lifetime. Remember when he had presidential buzz?

Agreed. But he knew what he was doing.

of all those in the bush administration, i really expected better from him.
how a former general could stand there and advocate, either directly or by remaining silent, torture as a valid interrogation technique is beyond my comprehension.
