Former Secretary of State Colin Powell told ABC's Barbara Walters in an interview to be aired tonight that his presentation to the United Nations in 2003 on Iraq's WMD capabilities is a "blot" on his record that is "painful" for him. Powell did not say, however, that he regrets the decision to invade Iraq.
Powell, who said he was misled by "some people in the intelligence community" who "didn't speak up," added that the United States erred by not supplying enough troops immediately following the invasion to ensure security and impose its will on the country. Powell said he does not blame former CIA Director George Tenet for the faulty information he relied on.
