The Washington Post has a long article Falling on His Sword on Colin Powell's Reign as Secretary of State. It's an excerpt from Karen DeYoung's upcoming book Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell. It's about the UN Speech and his "resignation".
"Powell's irritation at the White House was coupled with a growing anger at the CIA. Right or wrong, at least Bush had willingly shouldered the ultimate responsibility for the decision to go to war. Powell felt he had done his own duty by privately voicing caution even as he gave the president his full support. But it was increasingly apparent that the intelligence community had been careless with the truth and hence with Powell's most precious commodity -- his credibility with the American people."
