Another disgraced person brought back by Bush...amazing. He has got a thing for guys that cover up and lie about stuff it seems.

Let me see, all Poindexter did was lie to Democrats who had been notorious for leaking info to the press (Leahy coms to mind).

Iran-contra, come to think of it, was not such a bad op after all. We sold the Iranians outdated equipment as highly inflated prices, got some of the hostages out of the hands of terrorists in Lebanon, bled Saddam a little, and then used the proceeds to fund the freedom fighters in Nicaragua in their efforts against the Sandinistas. Incidentally, the Sandinistas were probably helping to run drugs into the U.S., so taking them out was not a bad thing, IMHO.

All in all, it was a pretty neat idea.

Could you refresh our memory? What were the lies that Poindexter told, and to whom?

I'm curious if any of the hostages that were released as the result of Iran-Contra would have voluntered to stay put if they knew that someone, somewhere, lied to bring the deal about, eh?

"Hey, I have some moral issues with the deal that brought about this release, I'll stay."
