He has no defense! Even as a public figure, McClatchy Watch could demonstrated malice. Powell can't use opinion as a defense, since he expresses things as fact.<br /><br />Powell wouldn't know a neocon if he were at a Tea Party. He is correct about one thing, O'Keefe and Giles aren't whistleblowers - they are journalists who did the work that McClatchy folks are unwilling to do.H.
