State Dept. Finds Classified Emails in Accounts of Colin Powell, Rice Aides
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The State Department has found a dozen emails containing classified
information sent to the personal email accounts of former Republican
Secretary of State Colin Powell and top aides of his successor,
Condoleezza Rice. Powell received two of the emails, while Rice's aides
received 10. Powell disputed the classification of the messages, telling
NBC News, "I wish they would release them so that a normal,
air-breathing mammal would look at them and say, 'What's the issue?'"
The review is part of the fallout over Hillary Clinton's use of a
private email server as secretary of state.
