Powell's comeback?
Important article in the Washington Post suggesting that Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz may be in trouble (thanks to Mike Alissi's posting on Reason's Hit and Run).

The story notes:

Already there is a behind-the-scenes effort by former senior Republican government officials and party leaders to convince President Bush that the advice he has received from Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz -- a powerful triumvirate frequently at odds with Secretary of State Colin L. Powell -- has been wrong and even dangerous to long-term U.S. national interests.

Don't write the three off just yet, but the wolves are circling, which means Saddam may not be the only one who has something to lose in Iraq.
