Colin Powell Center For Policy Studies

[lwcon]

Yes, Virginia New York, there is a Colin Powell Center For Policy Studies.

It was just mentioned in a small good-news item:

Gen. Colin L. Powell, USA (ret.) and President Gregory H. Williams of The City College of New York (CCNY) announced that the New York Life Foundation is giving $10 million to establish The New York Life Endowment for Emerging African-American Issues at the Colin Powell Center for Policy Studies.

I hadn't heard of this Harlem-based Center before. Its initiatives include:

Multilateral Diplomacy and International Organizations: Examines the histories and best practice of international organizations such as the United Nations, with particular emphasis on issues of conflict and security.

Oh my fucking Lord. Is John Wayne Gacy going to start an institute for best clowning practices?

1. I think they should study backbone and integrity.

2. There should be a wing devoted to media excellence

They can give the backbone and integrity people the same rigorous scrutiny they gave to Powell's UN speech.

3. Powell lost his integrity at the UN.

I use to at least respect him.

5. Absolutely agreed: he should NEVER have given in. He lost me that Feb 6 too. (n/t)

6. I think it was on 2/5/03, but most of the news stories are dated 2/6

Check out the banner atop his presentation. Couldn't be more perfect: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/02/20030205-1.html
