"Iran-Contra mess" is liberal double-speak. It's a "mess" because the Boland Amendment was probably unconstitutional. Congress criminalized the President's side in a disagreement about foreign policy - but setting foreign policy is part of the Executive function. Nobody was ever convicted of violating the Boland amendment, just a few for lying to Congress. Our country supported real freedom fighters in Nicaragua, and that is something the Molly Ivans of the world won't forget. Was Negroponte and Reich convicted of lying to Congress? I don't remember. Otherwise, their crime is having a different political opinion. I dislike shrillness no matter what the political flavor.
