The neocons screwed up during Reagan's term and mostly got arrested. If they hadn't been pardoned we wouldn't be in the same mess again. I think Bush 1 was not as oblivious to their antics as was Reagan and Junior, he let them off but didn't give them free reign. We can thank John Kerry that martial law was not decalared then. <font color=blue>Typical was the case of 31-year-old Wanda Palacio, who broke with Colombia's Medellin cartel in 1986 and became an F.B.I. informant. Palacio also approached Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and told his office that she had witnessed cocaine being loaded onto planes bearing the markings of Southern Air Transport, a onetime C.I.A.-owned airline then under Pentagon contract. Kerry, who was already investigating the contras, hand-delivered Palacio's eleven-page "proffer" statement on September 26, 1986, to William Weld, then the Justice Department's Assistant Attorney General for Criminal Affairs. </font> nick.assumption.edu And thus did the Iran/Contra unravel.
