Real History and the War against Iraq The Index to the Traditional Enemies of Free Speech Alphabetical index (text) New York, 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 Telegraphic Agency.
