Well, when it came to the Contras, I supported what Reagan and North were trying to do, and, in fact, did.

A lot of people who are pissed off at North are angry because he helped overthrow the Sandinistas, but I know you are not one of them.

I expect people in intelligence to lie to Congress if they're actively engaged in a convert operation. Don't you? I mean, if they're hiding something important.

But it's still a crime.

I also expect the Secret Service to take a bullet for the President.

I expect the CIA to lie to cover up covert operations in the war against terror, but the things that have come out about the covert prisons, the use of torture, etc., are just too much for me, and I am not in the minority here.
