*General Powell Rips Professor Henry Louis Gates*

According to Gen Colin Powell Harvard Professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates could have avoided arrest & the ensuing controversy by just talking calmly to Cambridge, Mass., Police Sgt. James Crowley & coming outside of his his house.

Gen Powell, in your interview with Larry King, quote: "I'm saying Skip, perhaps in this instance, might you have waited a while, come outside, talked to the officer & that might have been the end of it."

Gen Powell, police brutality is at an all time high. You were a victim of profiling yourself. To your credit at the time of your comments you possibly had no idea that Sgt Crowley fabricated his police report.

Crowley was undoubtedly vituperated by Prof Gates & that may be a blot for Prof Gates; but not a green light to pompously state that "anger is best controlled." Dr. Gates does not deserve to be publicly berated by any high profile persona, especially since it has been clearly established that Crowley LIED! I am indeed curious as to what it was that motivated you to speak out against Dr. Gates.

Why is the media suffering from inertia when Crowley said: "I've never been accused of being a racist before, to this degree." I'd say Crowley admitted that indeed, he HAS been accused, just not to this degree! Why, Gen Powell do you think this comment gets no air time, yet, the "Beer Summit" had a count-down? I found that quite a "teachable moment", General.
