Powell: cheney "overshot the runway" in book

[spanone]

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday that former Vice President Dick Cheney took "cheap shots" in his forthcoming memoir, and that he was taking his aggressive promotional techniques "a bit too far."

Powell, speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," targeted Cheney's claim that the book, "In My Time," would "make heads explode."

"My head isn't exploding, I haven't noticed any other heads exploding in Washington, D.C.," Powell pointed out. "From what I've read in the newspapers and seen on television it's essentially a rehash of events of seven or eight years ago."

In fact, Powell suggested, the most notable thing about the book was Mr. Cheney's characterization of it.

2. Cheney certainly believes things happened the way he says.

He believes his own lies.
