Not really.


Yes, really.

You started on one subject and changed to another.

I mean, here he has people buying and selling weapons and arming a counter-insurgency without his knowledge. And they still had jobs after it was over....

"HE" didn't "HAVE" people buying and selling weapons, etc. -- as you should recall, this was a very small, independent operation that didn't rise to the level of presidential involvement.

Those who did anything perceived to be wrong paid for it, those who didn't, didn't.

Seems reasonable to me.

..and after they got caught, tried and sentenced, they were pardoned by the complicit, ex-CIA head Poppy! Which is the BEST example of why presidents should be stripped of their pardon powers.
