[Lysander]

I got a great plot. It could star a a military guy selling drugs in LA and weapons in Iran to get money to fund terrorists in Central America. A real funny scene would be the President of the United States sleeping through the cabinet meeting when approval is sought. The CIA director could mysteriously die before he could testify about it. What a hoot this could be. The military guy could go on to be a star news reporter on Fox and have a huge following of fans.

It has a ring to it.

Your screen name should be "Lie Slander".

Hey ...Uh.. What happened there Lysander... Get kicked out over at DU for being TOO much of a liberal commie rat?

The entire thing was a tad more complicated than that and somewhat less sinister. However, you're right, it would make an excellent movie these days if they stick to your plot line. Fits the Dems talking points from 1986 perfectly.

Or - A democratic congress was attempting to turn all of South and central America over to communists (oh, I mean "agrarian reformers"), and a handfull of patriots was driven to desperate means to prevent that from happening. And, thanks be to g_d, the patriots won! Now there's a film I'd pay to see.

I've read a rather thick book on the Iran-Contra affair. The events you describe are left wing ABC News propoganda bull$hit.
