So Powell volunteered to sell Cheney's lie to the UN, knowing it to be a lie, because he wanted to stay in power rather than tell the truth like Shinseki? If Powell knew it to be false, and presented it with his credibility, I see no reason to not call it Powell's lie as much as Cheney's.

That's even worse than I thought. But fits with Powell's history in Vietnam.
