Why does Colin Powell need a "minder" with him like Saddam had in Iraq?

I don't get it. Bush and his minions spent a year telling us how everyone in Iraq had to have official minders following them where ever they went. Now our own Secretary Of State needs a minder to stop an interview he is giving because he might tell the truth? This is not the America that I remember before the Chimp was selected to be the president. Kind of sickening.

1. Emily

I'm just glad I'm not Emily right about now. I imagine Powell ripped her a new one.

Any grown man with even an ounce of self respect in that position would have fired Emily on the spot. I would say that it is more likely that Colin and his FCC son had better start looking for a new job soon. Obviously Colin ain't in charge of anything.

2. Minders are not the

whole of it, apparently the news stations need re-minders on which questions should be asked of guests as on the Olberman show. The internet has watchers to see what people are saying. :hi: Hi Mike and Dave.

3. They used to call them 'Zampolit' in the Soviet Union

ie., 'Political officer' or 'Party Commissar', etc....

The Nazi's had them too, btw.
