I think Powell was set up as the fall guy or at least used as a pawn. He was given intel pointing to Iraq having WMDs that was proven false and additional intel from a source that was known to be lying to serve his own agenda, and Powell was given the intel and told it was corroborated and reliable. Given the information Powell had, I don't think he did anything wrong here. He had no way of independently verifying the intel cherry picked and put on his desk.

Actually, his far worse act was he was the top brass who investigated the My Lai massacre many years earlier, and they found no wrongdoing by American forces.Not a good look there. I have a hard time second guessing anyone's behavior in a war, I have no idea how I would cope or react, but clearly something went wrong, if not on the ground, than at a higher level, someone should have been held accountable.
