> Some members of an administration will leave along the way. I think Rod Paige wanted to remodel his house. Scooter Libby was indicted. Vince Foster committed suicide (if I'm thinking of the right guy). George Stephanophoulus moved into the television business. I don't remember why C. Powell or C.T. Whitman left. Some get medals for their service when they leave. Some write books. There are many ways to enter and depart government service. The important thing is that the winner of the election gets to pick his people. That is part of what he wins.
The thing is this President seems to keep a VERY small circle of people who seem to think so much alike they might as well share the same brain. As for Colin Powell, a man with integrity and tact, he may have felt out of place...
