Looks like Mary McGr…

Looks like Mary McGrory, columnist for the Washington Post, is one of those whom I described yesterday as viewing Colin Powell as a “light in the darkness” of the Bush administration. In yesterday’s column she offers her credentials as one who was “clinging tightly to the toga of Colin Powell”, wishing he would oppose the war outright rather than just advise against it.

But she has seen his transformation, and the reasons for it. And now, after his presentation of evidence to the UN, she’s starting to see the truth.

I wasn’t so sure about the al Qaeda connection. But I had heard enough to know that Saddam Hussein, with his stockpiles of nerve gas and death-dealing chemicals, is more of a menace than I had thought. I’m not ready for war yet. But Colin Powell has convinced me that it might be the only way to stop a fiend, and that if we do go, there is reason.

The minds, they are a’changin’.
