Helen Thomas is still pissed about Reagan:
(taken from 2.25.02 press briefing)

That's a summary of the President's day.  Helen. 

Q    Ari, why would this administration choose a man for couterterrorism who is so associated with the dark side of the Iran Contra scandal, Admiral Poindexter? 

MR. FLEISCHER:  When you say, choose him for counterterrorism, can you be more specific? 

Q    He's in the Pentagon, he's been appointed head of DARPA, which is a counterterrorist office, developing plans, demonstrations with information. 

MR. FLEISCHER:  I'm not aware of any appointment. 

Q    Yet. 

MR. FLEISCHER:  Let me just say about Admiral Poindexter, Admiral Poindexter is somebody who this administration thinks is an outstanding American and an outstanding citizen who has done a very good job in what he has done for our country, serving in the military. 

Q    How can you say that, when he told Colonel North to lie? 

MR. FLEISCHER:  Helen, I think your views on Iran Contra are well-known, but the President does believe that Admiral Poindexter served  -- 

Q    It isn't my view, this is the prosecutor for the United States. 

MR. FLEISCHER:  I understand.  The President thinks that Admiral Poindexter has served our nation very well. 

Q    Really? 

MR. FLEISCHER:  That's the President's thoughts. 

Q    Do you know his record? 

MR. FLEISCHER:  I'm sure you will inform me. 

Q    I don't have to, all you have to do is look it up.
