Without reading any of the subsequent eruption here, I imagine there's a certain amount of mockery about me citing the NYT on Mena. So, just for laughs, I'll give the guys a more "reputable" source, one that looks to be more in the mainsream of the supple and complex intellects that the guys favor. The first one that came up on google.federal.com When a C-123K military cargo plane crashed in Nicaragua on October 5, 1986 with weapons and CIA employees on board, it unraveled what became known as the Iran-Contra scandal. The weapons were supplied by the CIA and destined for the Nicaraguan Contras in possible violation of the Congressional Boland amendments. Special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh spent six years determining who in the Reagan administration was involved in the operation. Among the prime operatives were George Bush, Oliver North, Dewey Clarridge, John Pointdexter and Caspar Weinberger.
