They were in specific violation of Congressional statues, and lied to cover it up. As well as shredded papers, arrogantly giving Congress, and the American people, the finger.

That's hard to justify.

Especially when it has been shown that the violence down there was escalated by Casey & Co., who ran drugs as well as guns.

Neither patriotic nor legal, nor an increase in security.

Ollie North is a traitor, he violated the direction of the US Congress and violated the laws of the land, he should be on prison for treason

Hi Ann,

Re: We should disband the Special Prosecutor office

You must have missed the news. We did exactly that about two years ago, when the enabling legislation to continue the office of Special Prosecutor was allowed to die in the Congress.

Re: & put in place a law that protects the President from legal charges,

Insanely stupid idea, Ann. This is exactly the sort of rulemaking that Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin and Mobutu Sese Seko relied on to increase their power to destroy their own citizens. The checks and balances that our Founding Fathers put in place with near equal powers for the legislative, judicial and executive branches has proven over time to be the most intelligent way humans have come up with to deal with the arrogance of unlimited power in the hands of a megalomaniac. Dubya doesn't need any more power. In my opinion, he needs to be more controlled by the citizens of this nation, via our elected representatives. Just the way the Founding Fathers conceived the system.

Re: The same is true however of the left when it tried to corner Pres Reagan during the Iran Contra incident. Pres Reagan & Oliver North are, in fact, American heroes

I completely disagree. To compare the vicious hounding that Clinton and the nation were forced to endure at the hands of a handful of vile and vindictive hypocrites to the thousands of lives lost due to the machinations of Reagan's meddling in Central America and South Central seems to defy reason. If what is alleged by this presentation is true:
guerrillanews.com

then we have a Reagan administration cynically attempting to destroy communities here and and in foreign nations. Furthermore, the Republicans are equally guilty of attempting to destroy civil political process with their rabid attacks on Bill Clinton. There is a group within the Republican Party who see themselves as above the law and are willing to conspire against the people of this nation. They need to be exposed to light of day for what they truly are, selfish hypocrites who have no desire for a real democracy. Oliver North is, as others have said, a traitor to the American Constitution, while he wraps himself hypocritically in the flag of convenience for his nefarious schemes. The America that North purports to be loyal to is a fraudulent scheme in contravention of the laws of this land.

Salaams, Ray
