Interesting that AP fails to mention that Condi and Rummy won't be at the convention either....
Or that cabinet secretaries usually aren't part of the sitting President's re-election campaign.
What's the point of this article other than implying Powell's not attending because he doesn't agree with Bush or doesn't want to see him be re-elected....
Bush to Rumsfeld, Powell: Stay Out of the Campaign
Appearing on the CBS Face the Nation program, Mr Rumsfeld said though he and Mr Powell may be drawn into discussions regarding US foreign policy and military issues before the November 2 face-off between Mr Bush and Democrat John Kerry, "We will be doing it in a manner that is not campaign-style at all".
"There won't be a role. The president has specifically asked Colin Powell and me not to be involved in the campaign," Mr Rumsfeld said.
"He thinks that it's best that the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defence tend to their responsibilities and not allow their departments to become enmeshed in the campaign."
