COLIN POWELL TO RESIGN
Who's Next?

Secretary of State Colin Powell reportedly has submitted his resignation, effective upon confirmation of his replacement. Let the names flow. Will the new secretary be someone considered reasonable and seasoned, like U.N. Ambassador John Danforth? Or someone compromised by persistent prevarication, like National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice? Or will the Bush administration go with a tried-and-true convicted criminal, like National Security Council staffer Elliot Abrams?

[Post-publication addendum: The New York Times is reporting additional resignations are expected: Secretary of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham.]
