... US Secretary of State Colin Powell described neo-conservatives in the Bush administration as '****ing crazies' during the build-up to war in Iraq.

Wasn't that a line in "Escape from New York"?

A furious row has broken out over claims in a new book by BBC broadcaster James Naughtie that US Secretary of State Colin Powell described neo-conservatives in the Bush administration as '****ing crazies' during the build-up to war in Iraq.

Powell's extraordinary outburst is alleged to have taken place during a telephone conversation with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. The two became close friends during the intense negotiations in the summer of 2002 to build an international coalition for intervention via the United Nations. The 'crazies' are said to be Vice-President Dick Cheney, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz.

Interesting tricks of media--notice he did say alleged and has the '****ing crazies' not with quotation marks but to closley resemble.

I think this guy is looking for spot on 60 minutes,has all the credentials
