Powell regrets
'Gestapo' reports  COLIN
Powell said he regrets reports that he described a
Pentagon department as "the Gestapo"
[the
Secret State Police organ of Nazi
Germany].
In a book by Bob Woodward about the
lead-up to the Iraq war, the U.S. secretary of
state is quoted as resenting the influence of
Douglas Feith, the under-secretary of
defense for policy, who was pro-war. In the book,
Powell describes Feith, who is Jewish, and his
staff as "the Gestapo." "I don't recall saying that, but it is a
terrible term to use," Powell told The Associated
Press. "And it is out of place, completely out of
place. I have known Doug Feith for many years. We
have agreed on many issues and disagreed on some.
And I just regret that that has gotten into the
literature and become a fact."  © Jewish
