A furious row has broken out over claims in a new book by BBC
broadcaster James Naughtie that US Secretary of State Colin Powell
described neo-conservatives in the Bush administration as 'fucking
crazies' during the build-up to war in Iraq.
Powell's extraordinary outburst is alleged to have taken place during
a telephone conversation with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. The two
became close friends during the intense negotiations in the summer of
2002 to build an international coalition for intervention via the
United Nations. The 'crazies' are said to be Vice-President *****
Cheney, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul
Wolfowitz.
