Speaking of lying, Mr Powell tell us again about all those WMDs that were supposed to be in Iraq.
Powell was just reiterating UN Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix's position (which Blix reported on as late as January 27, 2003) on the anthrax and other biological/chemical WMDs issue. So where's the problem? Where's the lie?

"I have mentioned the issue of anthrax to the Council on previous occasions and I come back to it as it is an important one.
Iraq has declared that it produced about 8,500 litres of this biological warfare agent, which it states it unilaterally destroyed in the summer of 1991. Iraq has provided little evidence for this production and no convincing evidence for its destruction.
There are strong indications that Iraq produced more anthrax than it declared, and that at least some of this was retained after the declared destruction date. It might still exist. Either it should be found and be destroyed under UNMOVIC supervision or else convincing evidence should be produced to show that it was, indeed, destroyed in 1991."

"The nerve agent VX is one of the most toxic ever developed.
13,000 chemical bombs were dropped by the Iraqi Air Force between 1983 and 1988, while Iraq has declared that 19,500 bombs were consumed during this period. Thus, there is a discrepancy of 6,500 bombs. The amount of chemical agent in these bombs would be in the order of about 1,000 tonnes."

"Also associated with these missiles and related developments is the import, which has been taking place during the last few years, of a number of items despite the sanctions, including as late as December 2002. Foremost amongst these is the import of 380 rocket engines which may be used for the Al Samoud 2 missile."

Putting the nations diplomatic machinations, secrets and strategies - assuming she had any as SoS - on an insecure, extra-governmental server in Clinton's basement is not a minor issue.
Want to make a point that is credible use a source, other a democratic organ. Media Matters, American Bridge, Correct the Record are all run by David Brock and tied to Mrs Clinton and the Democrat establishment.

Powell along with Rice were the voices of reason in the Bush admin, he had bad intel. If you watch his speech to the UN Tenet is sitting right behind him, that was at Powell's insistence.

WASHINGTON — The State Department has discovered a dozen emails containing classified information that were sent to the personal email accounts of Colin L. Powell and close aides of Condoleezza Rice during their tenures as secretaries of state for President George W. Bush.
Two emails were sent to Mr. Powell’s personal account, and 10 to personal accounts of Ms. Rice’s senior aides. Those emails have now been classified as “confidential” or “secret” as part of a review process that has resulted in similar “upgrades” of information sent through the personal email server that Hillary Clinton used while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. The State Department did not say who sent the emails to Mr. Powell or to Ms. Rice’s aides, or who received the messages.
