“dumber than Iran-Contra,”

Oliver North and John Poindexter’s convictions were both overturned on Appeal, mainly because of seperation of powers. Congress (under the Boland Amendment) does not have the power to legislate the Executive’s power to conduct Foreign Policy. Lousy journalism or ideology partisanship not to mention that. North’s was overturned do to his partial immunity to testify to Congress.
