-
- Yeah.
- Also, after watching Walsh on MacNeil-Learher nearly in tears with his
- voice cracking and coming unglued with rage after the pardons, it's
- pretty obvious that his objective abilities are gone. He should be
- fired for violating the ABA canon on prosecutorial prejudgement.
-
- Incidently, wasn't the "diversion" performed by a third party?
- i.e.
-
- U.S. sells arms to 3rd party at a competetive rate and the
- profits are deposited in the U.S. Treasury. Totally proper.
-
- 3rd party re-sells arms to Iran for outrageously high price.
- (Basically screws them over).
-
- 3rd party transfers *Their* profit to the contras.
-
- So in reality, no U.S. funds were given to the contras. They essentially
- used Iranian money. Can't think of a better use!
