- Tom, I edited (for brevity's sake) because you're so fond of edited
- postings :-)
-
- >Am I mistaken in recalling that the Kennedy administration admitted to

-
- And the Bush administration's attempts on Saddam Hussein, Ayatollah
- Khomeini, Moammar Khaddafy - are these of no consequence?

- Okay, Tom, and I'm not asking you to read the reports on the wire
- services, so I've edited them for you :-)

- "I am not a crook." -- Richard Nixon
-
- "I've given every bit of evidence I have to these thousands of
- investigators." (George Bush, NBC-TV interview, Septemer 15, 1992)
-
- Bush has said that he was "out of the loop" on the arms-for-hostages plan.
-
- The White House didn't notify Walsh until Dec. 11 that it had Bush's
- typewritten notes -- which the then-vice president began dictating in
- November 1986 as the Iran-Contra affair was erupting.
-
- "I had a different understanding of what they meant by notes," the
- 75-year-old Weinberger said.
-
- "What really disturbs me about the president's statement this week is
- really not so much the pardons as his just unwillingness to acknowlege that
- crimes were committed, that misdeeds and misconduct took place, that
- Congress was lied to," said Hamilton, who chaired the House panel that
- investigated the affair, on ABC-TV's "This Week with David Brinkley."
-
- "It's hard to find an adjective strong enough to characterize a president
- who has such contempt for honesty," Walsh told Newsweek.
-
- "The pardons in themselves perfect the coverup," Walsh said.
-
- "Lawrence Walsh is completely out of control. He's bitter, petty and
- vindictive. So now he wants to turn his own six years of incompetence into
- a personal vendetta against President Bush," Dole said in a statement.
-
- Remember Watergate, Deep Throat, The Washington Post reporters and Nixon's list?
-
- Walsh is close to the truth in Iran/ContraGate - it's making the
- BU[ll]SH[it] administration very nervous. Soon they'll all be
- "out of the loop" and subject to subpoena without the protection of
- "executive privilege." :-)
