>>> however, arms were sold to Iran in support of contra efforts in Nicaragua.. these funds were used to support the Iran contra efforts in Nicaragua because the Nicaraguan government shot down a US plane on Oct. 5 1986 and the only surviving crew member was taken into custody.<<<

Sorry...

But the end doesn't justify the means...

What if we used drug money to support the contras... Would that have made it right???

We had an act of treason perpetrated by the highest levels in the Reagan administration... They gave arms to the terrorists that stormed the U.S. Embassy and took American hostages... Using that blood money to finance the Contras was an illegal act... There is no comparison to this act of treason and the current Clinton Sex scandal... Forget about party affiliations and just look at the facts...
